Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-7220:
---------------------------------
Yea, but the test did catch a real issue (a folder in any external table
directory causes error). I guess its best if Hadoop reverts back to old
behavior (in 2.5?). But this patch should fix it on the Hive side, as another
option, either way.
> Empty dir in external table causes issue (root_dir_external_table.q failure)

> While looking at root_dir_external_table.q failure, which is doing a query on
> an external table located at root ('/'), I noticed that latest Hadoop2
> CombineFileInputFormat returns split representing empty directories (like
> '/Users'), which leads to failure in Hive's CombineFileRecordReader as it
> tries to open the directory for processing.
> Tried with an external table in a normal HDFS directory, and it also returns
> the same error. Looks like a real bug.
