> External tables are currently mapped to managed tables on target. A lot of
> jobs in user environment are dependent upon locations specified in external
> table definitions to run, hence, the path for external tables on the target
> and on the source are expected to be the same. An external table being loaded
> as a managed table makes it difficult for failover (Controlled Failover) /
> failback since there is no option of moving data from managed to external
> table. So the external table replicated to target cluster needs to be kept as
> external table with same location as on the source.
