files in Catalog.dropTable()

   I think you're saying you want a purge option that deletes metadata, but not 
data?
   
   I'm very reluctant to add cases like this to the API. We want to keep the 
API small, and I think this may be specific to your use case. What about doing 
this in the application that creates the staging tables instead? You'd set 
purge=false when dropping the table and then clean up the metadata using your 
own code. Would that work?
