    I am sorry that I did't grasp the key points of your question. In Hive, if there are data files under the specified path while creating an external table, then Hive will identify the files as table data files.
    In many spark applications, external table data is generated by other applications under the external table path. So, Hive did nothing with the directory specified in the LOCATION.
    Thank you for your patience and guidance. @gatorsmile
