Andrew Or created SPARK-15257:
---------------------------------
Summary: Require CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE to specify LOCATION
Key: SPARK-15257
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15257
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Andrew Or
Assignee: Andrew Or
Right now when the user runs `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` without specifying
`LOCATION`, the table will still be created in the warehouse directory, but its
metadata won't be deleted even when the user drops the table! This is a
problem. We should use require the user to also specify `LOCATION`.
Note: This doesn't not apply to `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ... USING`, which is not
yet supported.
