----------------------------------
Yongqiang, I'm still reviewing the new patch (.4) but found some of my comments
are not address (e.g., QTestUtil). Can you elaborate which comments have been
addressed and which are not (and the reasons)?

> In our env, there are a lot of small files inside one partition/table. In
> order to reduce the namenode load, we have one dedicated housekeeping job
> running to merge these file. Right now the merge is an 'insert overwrite' in
> hive, and requires decompress the data and compress it. This jira is to add a
> command in Hive to do the merge without decompress and recompress the data.
> Something like "alter table tbl_name [partition ()] merge files". In this
> jira the new command will only support RCFile, since there need some new APIs
> to the fileformat.
