> Hive EXTERNAL table shown as MANAGED after conversion using 
> {code} ALTER TABLE t SET TBLPROPERTIES ('EXTERNAL'='True')

> The DESCRIBE FORMATTED shows:

> Table Type:            MANAGED_TABLE
> Table Parameters:
>                                EXTERNAL           True
> {code}

> This is actually a External table but is shown wrongly, as 'True' was used in 
> place of 'TRUE' in the ALTER statement.
