GitHub user ndchandar created a discussion: Can `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` support 
multiple files as input in the `LOCATION` section

Hello,
I wanted to check if we can allow multiple files as input when creating 
external tables. Looking at 
https://datafusion.apache.org/user-guide/sql/ddl.html#create-external-table and 
the test cases it seems the `LOCATION` field can be either a directory or a 
single file. 

My use case is that I have a directory that has hundreds of parquet files. I 
need to take N of them (e.g 10, 20 etc.) to produce bigger sized compacted 
parquet file.

Regards
Dinesh
