Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-837:
-------------------------------------
I agree. I think most people will want to use this in conjunction with external
tables, and in that
case they are really interested in the actual filename as opposed to the
directory name.
> virtual column support (filename) in hive

> Key: HIVE-837
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-837
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Query Processor
> Reporter: Namit Jain
>
> Copying from some mails:
> I am dumping files into a hive partion on five minute intervals. I am using
> LOAD DATA into a partition.
> weblogs
> web1.00
> web1.05
> web1.10
> ...
> web2.00
> web2.05
> web1.10
> ....
> Things that would be useful..
> Select files from the folder with a regex or exact name
> select * FROM logs where FILENAME LIKE(WEB1*)
> select * FROM LOGS WHERE FILENAME=web2.00
> Also it would be nice to be able to select offsets in a file, this would make
> sense with appends
> select * from logs WHERE FILENAME=web2.00 FROMOFFSET=454644 [TOOFFSET=]
> select
> substr(filename, 4, 7) as class_A,
> substr(filename, 8, 10) as class_B
> count( x ) as cnt
> from FOO
> group by
> substr(filename, 4, 7),
> substr(filename, 8, 10) ;
> Hive should support virtual columns
