Nicholas Jiang commented on FLINK-31310:
----------------------------------------
[~lzljs3620320], the `dropTable` interface is invoked after `getTable`,
therefore if no tale in hive, the `dropTable` could not be invoked, because
there is a check whether table exist in `getDataTableSchema`. IMO, when no
table in hive, users could use the FileSystemCatalog to drop the table and
clear table directory and HiveCatalog only drops the table in Hive and clear
table directory via hive metastore client.
> Force clear directory no matter what situation in HiveCatalog.dropTable
