-----------------------------------------
Summary: Use the EXTERNAL keyword consistently for Iceberg tables
Key: IMPALA-14225
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-14225
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Noémi Pap-Takács
When creating an Iceberg table in Impala in HiveCatalog, the user should NOT
use the EXTERNAL keyword. Correctly, it is:
{noformat}
CREATE TABLE ice_t [schema, etc.] STORED AS ICEBERG;{noformat}
However, when the user issues a SHOW CREATE TABLE command, it will always
output:
{noformat}
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ice_t [schema, etc.] STORED AS ICEBERG;{noformat}
which would not be a correct statement. This can be confusing.
We should consider how we would like to use the EXTERNAL keyword in case of
Iceberg tables and use it consistently in both the CREATE syntax we accept and
in the output of the DESCRIBE/SHOW statements.
