>
> In my use case ,
> sometimes I have to remove data of external tables to free up storage space
> of the cluster .
> So it's necessary for to enhance the syntax like
> "TRUNCATE TABLE srcpart_truncate PARTITION (dt='201130412') FORCE;"
> to remove data from EXTERNAL table.
> And I add a configuration property to enable remove data to Trash
> <property>
> <name>hive.truncate.skiptrash</name>
> <value>false</value>
> <description>
> if true will remove data to trash, else false drop data immediately
> </description>
> </property>
> For example :
> hive (default)> TRUNCATE TABLE external1 partition (ds='11');
> FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: Cannot truncate non-managed table
> external1
> hive (default)> TRUNCATE TABLE external1 partition (ds='11') FORCE;
> [2013-04-16 17:15:52]: Compile Start
> [2013-04-16 17:15:52]: Compile End
> [2013-04-16 17:15:52]: OK
