Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-5032:
----------------------------------------
Actually smaller change which will fix this issue is to use dir.getParent() for
incoming path, instead of changing it into string representation and than use
indexOf(). Thats a local change without needing to change signature of
pathToPartitionInfo. Thats a cleaner solution.
> Enable hive creating external table at the root directory of DFS

> 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.
