Description

As part of HIVE-23387 check is added to restrict user from creating database with managed table location, if the location is already present. This was not the case. As this is causing backward compatibility issue, the check needs to be removed.

 

if (madeManagedDir) {
  LOG.info("Created database path in managed directory " + dbMgdPath);
} else {
  throw new MetaException(
      "Unable to create database managed directory " + dbMgdPath + ", failed to create database " + db.getName());
}
