-----------------------------------
Summary: Inconsistent default for hive.exec.drop.ignorenonexistent
Key: HIVE-6754
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6754
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Configuration
Affects Versions: 0.12.0
Reporter: Natalino Busa
Priority: Trivial
Dropping a non existing table returns no errors
- when IF EXISTS is added
- when hive.exec.drop.ignorenonexistent is set to true
The default configuration in hive-default.xml.template sets
hive.exec.drop.ignorenonexistent to true.
However this create a inconsistent default behaviour when DROP TABLE is
executed on a non existing table, when the if exists clause is not used.
My suggestion would be to have the default set to false, to align the behavior
to the way it's used in SQL.
