Description

In case there are tables in the database..and the trash is insecure:

> drop database if exists a cascade ;
Error: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. MetaException(message:Unable to drop a.t because it is in an encryption zone and trash is enabled.  Use PURGE option to skip trash.) (state=08S01,code=1)

however...drop database doesn't accepts the purge option...
it would be good to have it; as the exception message already refers to it!
