The hive metastore is the default metastore within the databricks workspace's resource group. Unless you named an external location "hivemetastore" I dont see how this is on an external location. Did you run the code I sent you? You have to make a new catalog and schema within your blob storage to use the table as a MANAGED TABLE. This is the preferred way. Databricks doesnt recommend using dbfs or hivemetastore for data.
