>             Project: Apache Drill
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: Storage - Other
>    Affects Versions: 1.15.0

> For instant, it's possible to show files/directories in a particular 
> directory with the command
> {code:java}
> SHOW files FROM tmp.`mypath`;
> {code}
> It would be certainly very useful to improve this functionality with :
>  * possibility to list recursively
>  * possibility to use at least wildcard
> {code:java}
> SHOW files FROM tmp.`mypath/*/test/*/*a*`;
> {code}
>  * possibility to use the result like a table
> {code:java}
> SELECT p.* FROM (SHOW files FROM tmp.`mypath`) AS p WHERE ...
> {code}
