For example, when we create a table that has the same name as an existing Index table, the message we will get is ``` Hive index table is not supported ``` This might be confusing to external users, because they are not creating a Hive index table. In Hive, the error message we will get is ``` hive> create table default__t21_id1__ (col1 int); FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. AlreadyExistsException(message:Table default__t21_id1__ already exists) ```
