I have the following table tpch100/lineitem that contains 97 parquet files:
tpch100/lineitem/part-m-00000.parquet tpch100/lineitem/part-m-00001.parquet tpch100/lineitem/part-m-00002.parquet ... tpch100/lineitem/part-m-00096.parquet I can run the following queries: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `tpch100/lineit*; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `tpch100/lineitem/part-m-0001*'; SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `tpch100/lineitem/*'; The third query will fail if the table has metadata (it has to do with the .drill.parquet_metadata showing up at the top of the file system results) My question is: should the 2nd and 3rd queries be allowed, if we are querying a table folder that doesn't contain any sub folders ? -- Abdelhakim Deneche Software Engineer <http://www.mapr.com/> Now Available - Free Hadoop On-Demand Training <http://www.mapr.com/training?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Signature&utm_campaign=Free%20available>
