Zheng Shao updated HIVE-1083:
-----------------------------
Labels: inputformat (was: )
Corner cases:
C1. We have 4 external tables: abc_recursive, abc, abc_def_recursive, abc_def
abc_recursive and abc both points to /abc
abc_def and abc_def_recursive both points to /abc/def
abc_recursive and abc_def_recursive have set the bit "recursive".
In ExecDriver, given all tables, we need to find all paths that needs to be
added to the input path.
In MapOperator, given the current input path, we need to find all the aliases
that the current input path corresponds to.
> allow sub-directories for an external table/partition

> Key: HIVE-1083
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1083
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Query Processor
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0
> Reporter: Namit Jain
> Assignee: Zheng Shao
> Fix For: 0.6.0
>
>
> 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.
