Description

see the codes:
boolean success = false;
try {
client.drop_table(dbname, name, deleteData);
if (hook != null)

{ hook.commitDropTable(tbl, deleteData); }

} catch (NoSuchObjectException e) {
if (!ignoreUknownTab)

{ throw e; }

} finally {
if (!success && (hook != null))

{ hook.rollbackDropTable(tbl); }

}

success will always false, whether the drop was success or faild.
so it's a bug.
