Yin Huai updated SPARK-14507:
-----------------------------
Priority: Critical (was: Major)
> Decide if we should still support CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE AS SELECT
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-14507
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14507
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: SQL
> Reporter: Yin Huai
> Priority: Critical
>
> Look like we support CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE AS SELECT by accident. Should we
> still support it? Seems Hive does not support it. Based on the doc Impala,
> seems Impala supports it. Right now, seems the rule of CreateTables in
> HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala does not respect EXTERNAL keyword when
> {{hive.convertCTAS}} is true and the CTAS query does not provide any storage
> format. For this case, the table will become a MANAGED_TABLE and stored in
> the default metastore location (not the user specified location).
