Hi team, I'm using the new

ManagedTableDataSet

with Databricks Unity Catalog and I didn't find a way to store tables on a external location (ABFS Azure). There's a way of storing a external table with pure-spark :

df.write.mode(mode).option("path", table_path).saveAsTable(f"{catalog_name}.{schema_name}.{table_name}")

, where

table_path

its the path for the external location like

<abfss://container@storage_account.dfs.core.windows.net/raw>

. There's a way to pass this path to the

ManagedTableDataSet

when saving the data? Or should I go and create a

CustomManagedTableDataSet

with this capability?

It sounds like this is quite common, do you think you can do a PR to add this into the dataset?

Yeah sure i'll keep you posted!
