"Although the EXTERNAL and LOCATION clauses are often specified
together, LOCATION is optional for external tables, and you can also
specify LOCATION for internal tables. The difference is all about
whether Impala "takes control" of the underlying data files and moves
them when you rename the table, or deletes them when you drop the
table. For more about internal and external tables and how they
interact with the LOCATION attribute, see Overview of Impala Tables."
