Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-19933:
--------------------------------------
[~afan] I think it would have been better if this property was never introduced
at all. Now that it has been, we have to be a bit careful removing it in a
minor release. I think we can remove it from the master branch and perhaps flip
it from true to false in other release branches so users can expect a different
behavior by default while having the ability to switch back to the current
behavior.

> ALTER TABLE web_logs DROP PARTITION (`date`='xyz')
> -- Success.
> {code}
> There is no 'xyz' partition for the 'date' column. To make this more
> consistent, the query should fail if the user tries to drop a partition that
> does not exist
