Volodymyr Glushak commented on SPARK-15276:
-------------------------------------------
[~andrewor14],
HIVE is not adding EXTERNAL keyword if LOCATION specified.
Why does Apache Spark introduce different behaviour?
> CREATE TABLE with LOCATION should imply EXTERNAL

> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL

>
> If the user runs `CREATE TABLE some_table ... LOCATION /some/path`, then this
> will still be a managed table even though the table's data is stored at
> /some/path. The problem is that when we drop the table we'll also delete the
> data /some/path. This could cause problems if /some/path contains existing
> data.
