PS5, Line 123:         if (ifExists_) return;
> This is counterintuitive - I would expect this to fail if the object exists
I did it this way to avoid changing existing behavior. There was a test I 
broken at my first attempt that threw exception:

https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/master/testdata/workloads/functional-query/queries/QueryTest/views-ddl.test#L188

Note the catch clause that was removed at the end of this function - it used to 
catch AnalysisException and ignore it in the IF EXISTS case. I prefer the new 
version as it cannot hide exceptions by accident.

My approach in this change was that error messages can change, but I shouldn't 
disallow something that was allowed until now, as that could break existing 
workflows. ( I can even imagine the current logic to be used to DROP something 
without knowing whether it is a view or a table - doing both DROP VIEW IF 
EXISTS and DROP TABLE IF EXISTS would do the job.
