---------------------------------------

             Summary: SparkSQL unsupported the command " create external table 
if not exist  new_tbl like old_tbl"
                 Key: SPARK-19115
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19115
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
         Environment: spark2.0.1 hive1.2.1
            Reporter: Xiaochen Ouyang


spark2.0.1 unsupported the command " create external table if not exist  
new_tbl like old_tbl"
we tried to modify the  sqlbase.g4 file,change
"    | CREATE TABLE (IF NOT EXISTS)? target=tableIdentifier
        LIKE source=tableIdentifier                                    
#createTableLike"
to
"    | CREATE EXTERNAL? TABLE (IF NOT EXISTS)? target=tableIdentifier
        LIKE source=tableIdentifier                                    
#createTableLike"
and then we compiled spark and replaced the jar "spark-catalyst-2.0.1.jar" 
,after that,we found we can run command "create external table if not exist  
new_tbl like old_tbl" successfully,unfortunately we found the generated table's 
type is  MANAGED_TABLE other than  EXTERNAL_TABLE in metastore database .
