eric baldeschwieler commented on HADOOP-1968:
---------------------------------------------
It is not a blocker, but it would resolve some user issues we'd really like to
fix. If we can get it into 15, it would make some people happy. But I would
not hold the release for this feature.
> Wildcard input syntax (glob) should support {}

> Key: HADOOP-1968
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1968
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.14.1
> Reporter: eric baldeschwieler
> Fix For: 0.15.0
>
>
> 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").
