Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HIVE-5032:
----------------------------------------
+1, fix looks good to me and should not damage existing use-cases. I've not
explicitly run the entire test suite to verify, but as long as those have been
explicitly verified, I'm good with this.
> Enable hive creating external table at the root directory of DFS
