Github user windpiger commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/16672 If we create the location path when alter table by user A, maybe we use user B to run the job which have no permission to write data to the location, is't it also not friendly? Maybe throw an runtime Exception is properly, and don't create path when alter table. @gatorsmile @cloud-fan @yhuai @hvanhovell
