I'm aware of grammar of external web table from GPDB.
Here's an example:
```
=# CREATE EXTERNAL WEB TABLE output (output text)
EXECUTE 'PATH=/home/gpadmin/programs; export PATH; myprogram.sh'
FORMAT 'TEXT';
```
However, your implementation requires creating a native table first - which
is not falling into create external web table DDL at all.
Then user needs to run cmdline tool to **register** a new path of the file
which would swap the original paq file created by the original DDL.

> Users sometimes want to register data files generated by other system like
> hive into hawq. We should add register function to support registering
> file(s) generated by other system like hive into hawq. So users could
> integrate their external file(s) into hawq conveniently.
