Jacques Nadeau commented on DRILL-3426:
---------------------------------------
One comment here. Just like we have to determine that we have to be able to
read a file before we execute a query/view. I think the same should be true
for DROP TABLE. This should help avoid rm -rf of the root directory of a file
system.
This means that corrupted tables wouldn't be able to be dropped. In those
situations, I would suggest that maybe we have an enhanced command. DROP TABLE
WITH ABANDON or similar.
Lastly, once we add this functionality, it would be nice to add CREATE OR
REPLACE TABLE AS to CTAS.
