are any metadata files under the table location, then the table exists so
we have to delete. The solution is to not use the HadoopCatalog, which has

Hi all,
The current behavior of dropping a table with HadoopCatalog looks
inconsistent to me. When stored at the default location under table path,
metadata and data will be deleted regardless of the "purge" flag. When
stored elsewhere, they will be left there if not "purge". Is this by design?
