   >  We also have a requirement don't drop table data and metadata when 
dropping table from hive metastore. It will allow us to restore any dropped 
table.
   
   I believe this is possible using `EXTERNAL` tables already (where the table 
is dropped from HMS but th data is retained). Is this not sufficient for your 
use case?
