BELUGA BEHR commented on HIVE-1043:
-----------------------------------
I think the issue is that determining an error condition (missing a file) is
impossible to do with this feature.
For example, if a user does {{add jar *.jar}} then perhaps they expect 5 JAR
files to be loaded. If one of the JAR files is inadvertently missing, and
only 4 JAR files are loaded, there is no way for Hive to know that and report
the error. Instead, the user will see a 'class def not found' error buried in
the logs perhaps and will not know why the job failed.
> "add [archive|file|jar]" CLI command should support globs
