Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-6469: ----------------------------------- Actually I was thinking of a global admin configuration, which, if turned on by the admin, will skip this trashing process. I understand the flexibility aspect, but It's hard for me to image why an individual user would care or need to control this. > skipTrash option in hive command line > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6469 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6469 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: CLI > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Jayesh > Fix For: 0.12.1 > > Attachments: HIVE-6469.patch > > > hive drop table command deletes the data from HDFS warehouse and puts it into > Trash. > Currently there is no way to provide flag to tell warehouse to skip trash > while deleting table data. > This ticket is to add skipTrash feature in hive command-line, that looks as > following. > hive -e "drop table skipTrash testTable" > This would be good feature to add, so that user can specify when not to put > data into trash directory and thus not to fill hdfs space instead of relying > on trash interval and policy configuration to take care of disk filling issue. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
