vaibhav commented on HIVE-20288:
--------------------------------
By default hive.exec.drop.ignorenonexistent is set to "TRUE"
-- Setting the same to FALSE gives the expected result on console .
hive> set hive.exec.drop.ignorenonexistent;
hive.exec.drop.ignorenonexistent=true
hive> set hive.exec.drop.ignorenonexistent=false;
hive> drop table xyz;
FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10001]: Table not found xyz
> DROP TABLE throws any error/warning while an attempt is made to drop a table
> which does not exist .
