我正在尝试使用配置单元创建一个hbase表（我打算使用insert从另一个配置单元表填充它），方法如下：

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE HBWeather (key struct<USAF:INT, WBAN:INT, `Date`:STRING>, TEMP INT)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED 
COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY '~' 
STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' 
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ('hbase.columns.mapping'=':key,T:Temp');

但是，我得到以下错误：

FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. MetaException(message:MetaException(message:HBase table hbweather doesn't exist while the table is declared as an external table.)

到底是什么问题？如何修复？
