@tomfans If you mean empty table directories are left over, I can confirm that's behavior for `HiveCatalog`. It removes the table record from metastore, and deletes all referenced metadata and data. The rationale I can see is Iceberg cannot assume all files under the directory belong to the table. As for the `HadoopCatalog` deleting directory is the only solution since the directory is the catalog itself. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
