Tom White commented on HADOOP-3498:
-----------------------------------
This could be implemented by recursively expanding alternations to produce a
list of Paths, as the first stage of glob processing.
> File globbing alternation should be able to span path components

> Components: fs

> For example, {/a/b,/c/d} should expand to /a/b and /c/d. This change would
> also permit a consistent syntax for specifying multiple input paths to
> MapReduce, streaming and Pig by specification of a single glob path with
> alternation {/a/b,/c/d}, rather than a collection of comma separated glob
> paths /a/b,/c/d.
> This change would also make globbing more consistent with bash, which
> supports this feature.
