Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-3068:
---------------------------------------

We have done another issue for inport and export functions. Maybe you can borrow that code to dump the metadata instead of the json export you have done.

> When a table is dropped, the contents go to the users trash but the metadata is lost. It would be super neat to be able to save the metadata as well so that tables could be trivially re-instantiated via thrift.
