File globbing alternation should be able to span path components
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-3498
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3498
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: fs
            Reporter: Tom White


For example, {/a/b,/c/d} should expand to /a/b and /c/d. This change would also 
permit a consistent syntax for specifying multiple input paths to MapReduce, 
streaming and Pig by specification of a single glob path with alternation 
{/a/b,/c/d}, rather than a collection of comma separated glob paths /a/b,/c/d.

This change would also make globbing more consistent with bash, which supports 
this feature.
