> CTAS with location clause acts as an insert overwrite. This can cause problems when there sub directories with in a directory.
> This cause some users accidentally wipe out directories with very important data. We should  ban CTAS with location to a non-empty directory. 
> Reproduce:
> create table ctas1  
> location '/Users/ychen/tmp' 
> as 
> select * from jsmall limit 10;
> create table ctas2  
> location '/Users/ychen/tmp' 
> as 
> select * from jsmall limit 5;
> Both creates will succeed. But value in table ctas1 will be replaced by ctas2 accidentally.
