Github user gatorsmile commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/16938 Basically, the rules you proposed are - When users specify the location in CT or CTAS (i.e., creating an external table), we should create a new directory if not existed, or overwrite the directory if already created. - When users do not specify the location in CT or CTAS (i.e., creating a manged table), we should create a new directory if not existed. If the directory already exists, we should issue the error. Is my understanding right?
