Description

When running an assessment in Azure Data Studio, I am receiving a warning on external tables through PolyBase. The warning is "Review table xxx.xxx and create reasonable indexes".

With External Tables, you can not create indexes. Is there a way to ignore this warning for External Tables?

Start by reproducing the assessment warning for a PolyBase external table in Azure Data Studio and review the external-table handling described in the issue. Trace where the missing-index warning is produced; done means external tables no longer receive this warning, or can be excluded from it.
