[jira] [Comment Edited] (HUDI-2611) `create table if not exists`
should print message instead of throwing error
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-2611?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17433619#comment-17433619 ]

------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems some work has already been done for this issue in this PR: [https://github.com/apache/hudi/pull/3510]
In master, it now errors with
*Can not create the managed table('TABLE'). The associated location('TABLE_LOCATION') already exists.;*
Is an error the best solution? Can't we check if the files that already exist at that location are Hudi files, and if the schema matches the schema of the table we would like to create?
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS should, in my opinion, not error if table exists already IN PATH (and not necessarily in catalog).
Would love your input [~pengzhiwei], as you are the above PR creator.
Thanks
