------------------------------------------
> Truncate table should not work when EXTERNAL property of table is true
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar
> Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar
>
> Currently if you create an external table using the command {{CREATE EXTERNAL
> TABLE table_name}} the {{TRUNCATE table table_name}} command fails as
> expected because only managed tables should be allowed to be truncated.
> But if you set the external property of a previously managed table using
> {{ALTER TABLE table_name SET TBLPROPERTIES('EXTERNAL'='true')}}, truncate
> table command does not object and deletes all the data from the external
> table.
