Description

Ricky Saltzer reported the following

I attempted to create a table identical to a Kudu table, except stored in Parquet. It looks like the CREATE TABLE DDL will fail if the Kudu table already exists, regardless if it's augmented with LIKE. Observe below:

[host-10-17-81-201.coe.cloudera.com:21000] > CREATE TABLE test_logs_parquet LIKE test_logs STORED AS PARQUET;
Query: create TABLE test_logs_parquet LIKE test_logs STORED AS PARQUET
ERROR:
ImpalaRuntimeException: Table test_logs already exists in Kudu master host-10-17-81-195.coe.cloudera.com:7051.

Kudu 0.8 and Impala version 2.6.0-cdh5.8.0 RELEASE (build 45941233f312b5b83865d27d09516b08bc2d0c49)
