I am not very sure whether we should follow Hive in this case. The path
might be wrong or no permission to create such a directory. Thus, it might be
more user friendly if they can get the error of creating the directory when
changing the location. cc @cloud-fan @yhuai @hvanhovell
This PR focues on the write path. How about the read path? What does Hive
behave when try to select a table whose location/directory is not created? What
is the behavior of our Spark SQL?
