Review Comment:
This line should be reverted.
This should be set true because there is determine condition in
HiveMetaStore impl whether deleting data by "deleteData" AND "is not external
table" .
So set "deleteData" to true is expected.
```JAVA
boolean shouldDeleteData = deleteData && !isExternal;
```
