Review comment:
       In a drop column request, the answer is always "true" so there's no need 
to set the variable; it's hard-coded when the MetadataEndpointImpl creates the 
DropColumnMutator. (AddColumnRequests can either be to add columns or alter 
table properties, and we need to distinguish to know whether to update the DDL 
timestamp; a drop is always a drop.)  
   
   I'll remove the (useless) check on the variable in DropColumnMutator to make 
that more clear.

> There are many reasons why it's useful to know when a particular table's 
> metadata was last modified. It's helpful when solving cache coherency 
> problems, and also in order to interact with external schema registries which 
> may have multiple versions of a particular schema and require a timestamp to 
> resolve ambiguities. 
> This JIRA will add a last modified timestamp field to System.Catalog, to be 
> updated both when creating a table/view and also when adding or removing a 
> column. Changing purely internal Phoenix properties will not update the 
> timestamp.
