---------------------------------------
Summary: Enable table definition over a single file
Key: HIVE-25569
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25569
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Zoltan Haindrich
Assignee: Zoltan Haindrich
Suppose there is a directory where multiple files are present - and by a 3rd
party database system this is perfectly normal - because its treating a single
file as the contents of the table.
Tables defined in the metastore follow a different principle - tables are
considered to be under a directory - and all files under that directory are the
contents of that directory.
To enable seamless migration/evaluation of Hive and other databases using HMS
as a metadatabackend the ability to define a table over a single file would be
usefull.
