David Mollitor commented on IMPALA-10710:
-----------------------------------------

OK, so first off, I was looking at an older version of Impala (pre: 
IMPALA-8984) so it looks like this was already tackled once.  I would though 
like to simplify and to add additional logging.

> Log When Kudu Table Already Exists in HMS

> As I understand the code, Impala performs HMS/Kudu {{CREATE TABLE}} 
> interaction as:
>  * Create the table in Kudu
>  * Register table with HMS
>  * Drop the Kudu table on HMS error
> This is generally OK, except that it drops the table from Kudu on a 
> {{TableAlreadyExists}} Exception.
> So, if I issue the same {{CREATE TABLE}} statement twice, the data will be 
> dropped from Kudu on the second execution.
> This applies only to {{IF NOT EXISTS}} statements.
