Sreekanth Ramakrishnan commented on HIVE-1633:
----------------------------------------------

I was taking a look at reproducing the issue. The core reason why the exception 
is present is due to following.

* Input format is passed a set of input path.
* These set of path contains two kind of files, table data files and 
scratch/tmp files which are created by hive in hdfs.
* CombineHiveInputFormat tries to compute splits in these temp/scratch file, 
which causes the  getPartitionDescFromPathRecursively to fail. Causing the 
query to fail.

I hope this helps, I am still looking at the code, and trying to figure out 
where the actual addition to input paths are done. So basically I can back 
track from there. Any help on this would be great.



> CombineHiveInputFormat fails with "cannot find dir for emptyFile"
