cloud-fan commented on issue #28026: [SPARK-31257][SQL] Unify create table syntax (WIP) URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/28026#issuecomment-606746750 `EXTERNAL` is never supported in Spark native tables, and it's intentional. At least at that time, we thought `EXTERNAL` is a bad feature and Spark shouldn't have it. Currently Spark supports it only for Hive compatibility, and it's an option to make the v2 API simpler by dropping EXTERNAL completely and sacrificing Hive compatibility.
