We are a current Databricks customer (Azure Databricks) experiencing an issue when creating a table.

 

We have an existing Metastore in the Central region.  All other Workspaces in this Metastore/Region are behind Private Endpoints.  We are trying to create a new Workspace that is not behind private endpoints, but is only available to specific VNets.  We created the new Workspace.  We created a new External Location pointed at a new Storage Account Container (the networking on the new Storage Account is open to all endpoints currently).

 

We created a new Catalog using this new External Location.  When we try to create a table in this new catalog, we get the following error message:

[RequestId=ea69c411-f03c-905c-8365-05903941a65c ErrorClass=TABLE_DOES_NOT_EXIST.RESOURCE_DOES_NOT_EXIST] Table '4e8d7f5a-2f5a-4dd1-b9b7-5c646628da86' does not exist.

 

When we look in the storage account, we see that the folder for this new table was created:

I believe the permissions in and networking to the Storage Account are correct.  I am also able to create a Volume against this Storage Container and add/remove files from the Volume.

 

It seems like there is an issue in either the Metastore itself or Unity Catalog.

 

As a note, if we create another Catalog without specifying an External Location, we are able to create a table without issue.

 

Does anyone have ideas of other things I can check that might cause this error?
