Hairong Kuang updated HADOOP-1968: ---------------------------------- Attachment: curlyGlob1.patch The patch uses StringBuilder in stead of StringBuffer. I feel that the use of lex & Yacc is a too big project now. So the new patch does not incorporate this suggestion. > 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 > Assignee: Hairong Kuang > Fix For: 0.15.0 > > Attachments: curlyGlob.patch, curlyGlob1.patch > > > 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"). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
