Wildcard input syntax (glob) should support {}

                 Key: HADOOP-1968
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1968
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: eric baldeschwieler


We have users who have organized data by day and would like to select several 
days in a single input specification.  For example they would like to be able 
to say:

'/data/2007{0830,0831,0901}/typeX/'

To input 3 days data into map-reduce (or Pig in this case). 

(Also the use of regexp to resolve glob paterns looks like it might introduce 
some other bugs.  I'd appreciate it if someone took another look at the code to 
see if there are any file characters that could
be interpreted as regexp "instructions").
