However, if we don't set `Table.dataLocation`, Hive always creates an unexpected empty table directory under database location, but doesn't remove it while dropping the table (because the table is external).\r\n\r\nThis PR works around this issue by explicitly setting `Table.dataLocation` and then manullay removing the created directory after creating the external table.\r\n\r\nPlease refer to [this JIRA comment][1] for more details about why we chose this approach as a workaround.\r\n\r\n[1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15269?focusedCommentId=15297408&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15297408\r\n\r\n## How was this patch tested?\r\n\r\n1. A new test case is added in `HiveQuerySuite` for this case\r\n2. Updated `ShowCreateTableSuite` to use the same table name in all test cases. (This is how I hit this issue at the first place.)","created_at":"2016-05-24T00:41:50Z","updated_at":"2016-05-24T04:48:40Z","closed_at":null,"merged_at":null,"merge_commit_sha":"a85c27637e175253ab45a0c2c1d16fec6d979a55","assignee":null,"milestone":null,"commits_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/apache/spark/pulls/13270/commits","review_comments_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/apache/spark/pulls/13270/comments","review_comment_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/apache/spark/pulls/comments{/number}","comments_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/apache/spark/issues/13270/comments","statuses_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/apache/spark/statuses/f376332b3c6eb59ddc4a45e0843285374ceaaace","head":{"label":"liancheng:spark-15269-unpleasant-fix","ref":"spark-15269-unpleasant-fix","sha":"f376332b3c6eb59ddc4a45e0843285374ceaaace","user":{"login":"liancheng","id":230655,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/230655?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng","html_url":"https://github.com/liancheng","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"repo":{"id":17232535,"name":"spark","full_name":"liancheng/spark","owner":{"login":"liancheng","id":230655,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/230655?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng","html_url":"https://github.com/liancheng","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/liancheng/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"private":false,"html_url":"https://github.com/liancheng/spark","description":"Mirror
