------------------------------------
Summary: Enable hive creating external table at the root directory
of DFS
Key: HIVE-5032
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5032
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Shuaishuai Nie
Creating external table using HIVE with location point to the root directory of
DFS will fail because the function
HiveFileFormatUtils#doGetPartitionDescFromPath treat authority of the path the
same as folder and cannot find a match in the "pathToPartitionInfo" table when
doing prefix match.
