HeartSaVioR commented on issue #27107: [SPARK-30436][SQL] Allow CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE with only requiring LOCATION URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/27107#issuecomment-571432884 The thing is that it "conditionally" works which is very confusing because the condition is whether the query statement goes into createHiveTable or not. `STORED AS` was the key to go into createHiveTable (that's the reason SPARK-30098 adds it here and there) but do we expect end users to realize the difference between two? And since we rely on parser rule and simply fail on createTable with external, CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE USING HIVE ... LOCATION doesn't work. And `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ... LOCATION` with hive as default source will also fail because of same reason.
