> While answering [this
> question|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34856838/concat-avro-files-using-avro-tools/34899425#34899425]
> on stack overflow, I noticed that the concat tool does not support
> directories or glob patterns as "input-file".
> OP's use case seems very valid but accepting only files as input push the
> burden on users.
> I think that it makes sense to also accept directories as input like cat
> does. Supporting glob patterns seems also useful if one want to concatenate
> the output of a MR job (in this case passing the directory won't work because
> of the {{_SUCESS}} file).
> I have quickly patched {{concat}} to support files, directories and glob
> patterns. Support of glob patterns has been added to {{cat}} since it seems
> useful too.
> This change should not introduce regression for users. But any feedback about
> glob patterns is welcome.
