Harsh J commented on HIVE-1083:
-------------------------------
Given that MAPREDUCE-1501 is in MR2 today, and Hive can make use of it, should
we close this out now?
> allow sub-directories for an external table/partition

> Key: HIVE-1083
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1083
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Query Processor
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0
> Reporter: Namit Jain
> Assignee: Zheng Shao
> Labels: inputformat
>
> Sometimes users want to define an external table/partition based on all files
> (recursively) inside a directory.
> Currently most of the Hadoop InputFormat classes do not support that. We
> should extract all files recursively in the directory, and add them to the
> input path of the job.
