Data is not getting cleaned every time from /tmp/foo/ when we are using external table. Due to this data is getting doubled every time i run.

Should this be a configuration parameter instead of taking a hard stance as to whether we should delete or append data?

Dropping external tables doesn't seem to remove the data, which makes sense for external tables, so when the table is recreated for the next test the old data remains. The only workaround found so far is to not use external tables in HiveQLUnit tests.
