Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-5032:
----------------------------------------
Patch does seem to fix the issue at end. But correct solution would be to have
pathToPartitionInfo map to be of type Map<Path,PartitionDesc> and than do
search using path.getParent() instead of fiddling with indexOf("/"). Thats
cleaner solution and we can avoid all these special casing for corner cases.
Ofcourse, this is bigger change compared to current patch. I wonder, if you
want to do it that way?

> 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.
