Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-7100:
-----------------------------------
[~dbsalti] I agree that same option when dropping partition can be done via a
different JIRA. However, the comments on RB about the APIs seems valid. and
what's your thought on that. I'd prefer we add new APIs to make the param
passing consistent. The old API can be gradually deprecated.
> Users of hive should be able to specify skipTrash when dropping tables.

> Users of our clusters are often running up against their quota limits because
> of Hive tables. When they drop tables, they have to then manually delete the
> files from HDFS using skipTrash. This is cumbersome and unnecessary. We
> should enable users to skipTrash directly when dropping tables.
> We should also be able to provide this functionality without polluting SQL
> syntax.
