Samphel Norden commented on SPARK-9347:
---------------------------------------

It will certainly help.Is it sufficient to put the _metadata file at the top 
level folder or does every subfolder need the metadata... For example, I have a 
hiearchy root/parquet_date=<>/parquet_hour_of_day=<>/part*.snappy.parquet
Is it sufficient if _metadata files are present at root or do they have to be 
in each parquet_hour_of_day=<> leaf folder.
Thanks

> When spark sql shell is launched and we point it to a folder containing a

> very long time to load the tables.
