[CARBONDATA-2954]Fix error when create external table command fired if path already exists Problem : Creating a external table and providing a valid location having some empty directory and .carbondata files was giving "operation not allowed: invalid datapath provided" error. Solution: It was happening because if the location was having some empty directory getFilePathExternalFilePath method in carbonutil.java was returning null due to the presence of empty directory.So made a slight modification to prevent this problem. - [ ] Any interfaces changed? - [ ] Any backward compatibility impacted? - [ ] Document update required? - [x] Testing done manually tested. - [ ] For large changes, please consider breaking it into sub-tasks under an umbrella JIRA.
