I just merged a fix for IMPALA-9068 which respects the managed vs external directory distinction. For developers using USE_CDP_HIVE=true, this will require reloading data. It does not impact USE_CDP_HIVE=false. The two configurations are separate, so loading USE_CDP_HIVE=true should not impact an existing load of USE_CDP_HIVE=false and vice versa.
Let me know if there are any issues. Thanks, Joe
