Review comment:
Yes the `Boolean.parseBoolean` would ignore case and give correct
`isExternal` value, but the thing is you wouldn't reach there..
`TableType.EXTERNAL_TABLE equals tableType` is checked before `if
(!isExternal)` that would fail.

Like you pointed out rightly, `isExternal` ignores case but the flow
wouldn't goto that condition because the condition before that fails.
