Ravi Nagvekar commented on SENTRY-719:
--------------------------------------
but eventhough error message it is creating database and table.
> create external table tablename, if tablename exists, instead of warning user
> table already exists, throws exception:
> MetaException(message:java.lang.NullPointerException) (state=08S01,code=1)
