   > For table metadata files, there is only an external location for Hadoop tables. Otherwise, the table location must come from the table's metadata.json file. That makes it difficult to make metadata_location and previous_metadata_location relative paths. I would probably not attempt to make these paths relative, but I'm open to ideas.
   
   Hi @rdblue, we might leave metadata_location and previous_metadata_location as is, they are table properties in Metastore like HMS, are not affected when we just move files from the source table to the target. They are absolute path, but they still point to the right place without any change.
