Is it possible to instruct hive to get only specific files from a partitioned external table? For example I have the following directory structure
data/dd=2012-12-31/a1.txt data/dd=2012-12-31/a2.txt data/dd=2012-12-31/a3.txt data/dd=2012-12-31/a4.txt data/dd=2012-12-31/b1.txt data/dd=2012-12-31/b2.txt data/dd=2012-12-31/b2.txt Is it possible to add 2012-12-31 as a partition and tell hive to load only the a* files to the table? Thanks,
