Description

Currently, HMS allows flexibility with location of a table. External tables can be located within Hive managed warehouse space and managed tables can be located within the external warehouse directory if the user chooses to do so.

There are certain advantages to restrict such flexibility. We could have different encryption policies for different warehouses, different replication policies etc.
