> 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.
