The reason behind fixing the TestInputOutputFormat test is this :
This PR targets to skip flush length check for external tables. The reason that some of the queries on external tables took more time was because Hive used to check for flush length files which are only present for Acid tables. In the first call when it concludes that it is an external table, it skips checking for side files hence the total number of calls reduces from 3 to 1.
