> Creating external table using HIVE with location point to the root directory 
> of DFS will fail because the function 
> HiveFileFormatUtils#doGetPartitionDescFromPath treat authority of the path 
> the same as folder and cannot find a match in the "pathToPartitionInfo" table 
> when doing prefix match.
