Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-22342:
--------------------------------------
[~vgarg] This is by-design. MANAGED_TABLE are meant to ACID only tables going
forward. If a non-ACID managed table is created, it will be converted as an
external table with "external.table.purge=true" so it behaves as the current
managed table where the table data is deleted when the table is dropped.
What failures is this causing for you? Thank you
