Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-2310:
----------------------------------------
What about following:
{code}
create table mytbl (a string) location '/tmp/tbl';
{code}
Is it fine to allow location for a table without it being 'external' ? I think
semantics should be if you want to specify location then table must be external.
> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE should require a valid LOCATION clause
