> DROP DATABASE CASCADE does not drop non-native tables.
> -------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-2542
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2542
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Metastore
> Reporter: Vandana Ayyalasomayajula

> The hive meta store client does not delete the non-native tables during the
> drop database <dbname> cascade operation. As a result even though the
> database is deleted the tables still exist. This is related to HCATALOG-144.
> A deeper look at the HiveMetaStoreClient's "dropDatabase" function, tells us
> that the function does not utilize the hive meta hooks of the tables in the
> database for dropping the non-native tables.
