Hairong Kuang updated HADOOP-1968:
----------------------------------
Attachment: curlyGlob.patch
This patch allows a glob to use curly brackets as descripbed in the jira. It
also makes sure that a file name that contains Java Regex special characters
does not get interpreated as an instruction.
There is one problem left with globs which is that glob escape does not work.
See HADOOP-1995 for more details. I will fix the escape problem once
HADOOP-1995 is resolved.
> Wildcard input syntax (glob) should support {}

> 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").
