             Summary: check target directory for `create table` 
                 Key: HIVE-11772
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11772
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Database/Schema
            Reporter: Phani Rahul Pedduri


for managed tables, when they are created, they point to /hive/<table-name>
It doesn't check whether or not that location is empty. We find out that when we insert data into that table. 

Why not throw an error while creating the table itself that the location isn't empty or something like that?
