Review request for hive.


Bugs: HIVE-4367
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4367


Repository: hive-git


Description
-------

In my use case ,
sometimes I have to remove data of external tables to free up storage space of 
the cluster .
So it's necessary for to enhance the syntax like 
"TRUNCATE TABLE srcpart_truncate PARTITION (dt='201130412') FORCE;"
to remove data from EXTERNAL table.

And I add a configuration property to enable remove data to Trash 
<property>
  <name>hive.truncate.skiptrash</name>
  <value>false</value>
  <description>
     if true will remove data to trash, else false drop data immediately
  </description>
</property>

For example :
hive (default)> TRUNCATE TABLE external1 partition (ds='11'); 
FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: Cannot truncate non-managed table external1
hive (default)> TRUNCATE TABLE external1 partition (ds='11') FORCE;
[2013-04-16 17:15:52]: Compile Start 
[2013-04-16 17:15:52]: Compile End
[2013-04-16 17:15:52]: OK
[2013-04-16 17:15:52]: Time taken: 0.413 seconds

hive (default)> set hive.truncate.skiptrash;
hive.truncate.skiptrash=false

hive (default)> set hive.truncate.skiptrash=true; 
hive (default)> TRUNCATE TABLE external1 partition (ds='12') FORCE;
[2013-04-16 17:16:21]: Compile Start 
[2013-04-16 17:16:21]: Compile End
[2013-04-16 17:16:21]: OK
[2013-04-16 17:16:21]: Time taken: 0.143 seconds

hive (default)> dfs -ls /user/test/.Trash/Current/; 
Found 1 items
drwxr-xr-x -test supergroup 0 2013-04-16 17:06 /user/test/.Trash/Current/ds=11
