Hi again
I opened hive (an old client)
And exactly the same create external table .... location [paht in hdfs
to place where are loads of files] works and the same DDL does not work
via beeline.

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.
