[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15257?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16447949#comment-16447949 ]

---------------------------------
“but its {color:#FF0000}metadata{color} won't be deleted even when the user drops the table”
what metadata can not be deleted？ In Hive Metastore or in SparkSession ?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15257

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL

> Right now when the user runs `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` without specifying `LOCATION`, the table will still be created in the warehouse directory, but its metadata won't be deleted even when the user drops the table! This is a problem. We should use require the user to also specify `LOCATION`.
> Note: This doesn't not apply to `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ... USING`, which is not yet supported.
