>
> Sqoop is not supporting HIVE external tables at the moment. Any imports using
> scoop creates a managed table, in real world scenario it is very important to
> have EXTERNAL tables. As of now we have to execute ALTER statement to change
> table properties to make the the table as external table which is not a big
> deal but it would nice have an option in scoop to specify type of table which
> is required
