    Description

      Please remove this confusing feature.

      As I understand it, this as an artifact of a previous era in Hive and that the best way to do this now is to create an EXTERNAL table then INSERT INTO .. SELECT * FROM ... the table into a managed table. The benefit of this is that table stats are collected during the INSERT statement and stats are not calculated as part of LOAD DATA.
