Why does Apache Spark introduce different behaviour? was (Author: rumoku): [~andrewor14], HIVE is not adding EXTERNAL keyword if LOCATION specified. Why does Apache Spark introduce different behaviour? > CREATE TABLE with LOCATION should imply EXTERNAL > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SPARK-15276 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15276 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Andrew Or > Assignee: Andrew Or > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > > If the user runs `CREATE TABLE some_table ... LOCATION /some/path`, then this > will still be a managed table even though the table's data is stored at > /some/path. The problem is that when we drop the table we'll also delete the > data /some/path. This could cause problems if /some/path contains existing > data. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
