Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-15257: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Andrew Or (was: Apache Spark) > Require CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE to specify LOCATION > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-15257 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15257 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Andrew Or > Assignee: Andrew Or > > Right now when the user runs `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` without specifying > `LOCATION`, the table will still be created in the warehouse directory, but > its metadata won't be deleted even when the user drops the table! This is a > problem. We should use require the user to also specify `LOCATION`. > Note: This doesn't not apply to `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ... USING`, which is > not yet supported. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
