> Suppose there is a directory where multiple files are present - and by a 3rd
> party database system this is perfectly normal - because its treating a
> single file as the contents of the table.
> Tables defined in the metastore follow a different principle - tables are
> considered to be under a directory - and all files under that directory are
> the contents of that directory.
> To enable seamless migration/evaluation of Hive and other databases using HMS
> as a metadatabackend the ability to define a table over a single file would
> be usefull.
