"show tables" shows the HDFS directories which correspond to Hive tables and 
various select queries show data from inside the files (each row of a file 
being a row of the overarching table that the entire directory represents)...or 
so I have convinced myself...but can Hive show the HDFS filenames?  Or is 
"hadoop fs -ls" the only way to do that?

Thanks.
