Hi
Can someone explain or provide documentation how Hive creates external
tables?
I have problem with creating external table in case I am pointing
location in hdfs in to directory where are loads of files. Beeline just
hangs or there will be other errors.
In case I point location in to the empty directory then hive creates table.
So does hive looks into files during creating external table?
I can not find any documentation explaining it.
