Yeah. That's what I mean. I know the Spark docs mention it, but they're actually the ones that even throw the exception. I did a pretty deep dive and I can see how Hive tables are able to handle it. They follow an older pathway `DropDatabaseCommand`, which relies on HMS to handle the Cascade. The problem with the approach that you mentioned is that we still wouldn't have the ability to get the `CASCADE` information from the query. Just setting it to `true` by default is most likely not going to work for most cases. We'd have to implement our own antlr grammar to catch `drop table ... cascade`. That's something that could be done, but it's not a trivial amount of work necessarily. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
