### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Right now, it is not possible to create an empty external table to write ```sql ❯ create external table foo stored as parquet location '/tmp/foo'; IO error: No such file or directory (os error 2) ``` ### Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to create a new external table with a directory that doesn't exist and then have datafusion create the directory on first write ``` create external table foo(x int) stored as parquet location '/tmp/foo/'; insert into foo values (1); ``` And then have a file written into `/tmp/foo/name.parquet` ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
