Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-91:
-----------------------------------
looks good. +1
could post the NPE that you get when line 53 is changed to
setSerializationLib()? it shouldn't be happenning (TestHiveMetaStore.java does
similar thing) and i am curious as to why that is happening. but this things
needn't delay the check-in though.
> Allow external tables with different partition directory structure

> 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.
