Allow external tables with different partition directory structure
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-91
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-91
Project: Hadoop Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Metastore
Reporter: Johan Oskarsson
Priority: Minor
A lot of users have datasets in a directory structures similar to this in hdfs:
/dataset/yyyy/MM/dd/<one or more files>
Instead of loading these into Hive the normal way it would be useful to create
an external table with the /dataset location and then one partition per
yyyy/mm/dd. This would require the partition "naming to directory"-function to
be made more flexible.
