---------------------------------
Summary: Managed tables converted to external tables by the
HiveStrictManagedMigration utility should be set to delete data when the table
is dropped
Key: HIVE-19981
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19981
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jason Dere
Assignee: Jason Dere
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.
