Timothy Driscoll commented on HIVE-9086:
----------------------------------------
[~leftylev] As I read the documentation, I'd expect that this would work:
{code}
ALTER TABLE <table> DROP PURGE PARTITION (partition=blah);
{code}
The patch as implemented looks like the syntax would be:
{code}
ALTER TABLE <table> DROP PARTITION (<part>=<val>) PURGE;
{code}
I'm not sure if we want the patch to match to documentation or vice versa, but
seems like they do not match.
> Add language support to PURGE data while dropping partitions.
