> Using the HiveStrictManagedMigration utility, tables can be converted to
> conform to the Hive strict managed tables mode.
> For managed tables that are converted to external tables by the utility,
> these tables should keep the "drop data on delete" semantics they had when
> they were managed tables.
> One way to do this is to introduce a table property "external.table.purge",
> which if true (and if the table is an external table), will let Hive know to
> delete the table data when the table is dropped. This property will be set by
> the HiveStrictManagedMigration utility when managed tables are converted to
> external tables.
