Eugene Koifman commented on HIVE-13175:
---------------------------------------
I think it would be good to make the message include db.table in it and be
included in ErrorMsg
I would make it and "db.table cannot be declared transactions because it's an
external table" or something like that.
> Disallow making external tables transactional

> The fact that compactor rewrites contents of ACID tables is in conflict with
> what is expected of external tables.
> Conversely, end user can write to External table which certainly not what is
> expected of ACID table.
> So we should explicitly disallow making an external table ACID.
