报错信息：Error: Error while compiling statement

建表语句：

create external table table_sample(v1 string,v2 string,v3 string) 
STORED AS PARQUET 
TBLPROPERTIES('parquet.compression'='gzip') 
location '/user/spark/cmd/table_sample';

报错信息：

Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 4:0 missing EOF at 'location' near ')' (state=42000,code=40000)

报错原因：建表时参数顺序问题，建议建表时参考官网示例建表。

此处把【TBLPROPERTIES】参数放到【location】之后即可，修改后的sql如下。

create external table table_sample(v1 string,v2 string,v3 string) 
STORED AS PARQUET 
location '/user/spark/cmd/table_sample' 
TBLPROPERTIES('parquet.compression'='gzip');​

新sql执行结果：

官网建表语句参考：
