Zheng Shao updated HIVE-1083:
-----------------------------

          Description: 
Sometimes users want to define an external table/partition based on all files 
(recursively) inside a directory.

Currently most of the Hadoop InputFormat classes do not support that. We should 
extract all files recursively in the directory, and add them to the input path 
of the job.



  was:Subdirectories should be allowed for tables/partitions.

    Affects Version/s: 0.6.0
             Assignee: Zheng Shao
              Summary: allow sub-directories for an external table/partition  
(was: allow sub-directories for a table/partition)
