Currently in HIVE-17205 conversion is blocked in

>
> bucketed tables have stricter rules for file layout on disk - bucket files
> are direct children of a partition directory.
> for un-bucketed tables I'm not sure there are any rules
> for example, CTAS with Tez + Union operator creates 1 directory for each leg
> of the union
> Supposedly Hive can read table by picking all files recursively.
> Can it also write (other than CTAS example above) arbitrarily?
> Does it mean Acid write can also write anywhere?
> Figure out what can be supported and how can existing layout can be checked?
> Examining a full "ls -l -R" for a large table could be expensive.
