Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-7220:
---------------------------------
It's weird that dynpart_sort_optimization failed twice here, but I couldn't
reproduce it running locally. Also looked through the test logs and didnt see
any related stacktraces.
> Empty dir in external table causes issue (root_dir_external_table.q failure)

> While looking at root_dir_external_table.q failure, which is doing a query on
> an external table located at root ('/'), I noticed that latest Hadoop2
> CombineFileInputFormat returns split representing empty directories (like
> '/Users'), which leads to failure in Hive's CombineFileRecordReader as it
> tries to open the directory for processing.
> Tried with an external table in a normal HDFS directory, and it also returns
> the same error. Looks like a real bug.
