   @ayushtkn Nice catch!  The conf value ` 
METASTORE_METADATA_TRANSFORMER_CLASS` is empty which was set by this ticket 
HIVE-24954, that is say,  non acid managed table won't be translated to 
External table. And my test hive cluster also set this conf ` 
METASTORE_METADATA_TRANSFORMER_CLASS` to empty by coincidence.
   
   You are right. If using the default value, the created iceberg table will 
always External table type. However, maybe some users like me will disable this 
conf and set it to empty, so that this can be backward compatibility.
   
   I refined the PR  to check conf ` METASTORE_METADATA_TRANSFORMER_CLASS` when 
setting default table location.
