Daniel Dai commented on PIG-252:
--------------------------------
Tested with hadoop 19 (apply
[PIG-573|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-573]), pig will benefit from
hadoop 19 automatically. No patch needed.
> Allow multiple paths in the load statement

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Olga Natkovich

> From Tom White:
> I;m having a problem loading data from multiple paths in Pig. What I'm trying
> to do is to load data from a range of dates, so I would like to specify an
> input of two globbed paths:
> x = LOAD '2008/05/{26,27,28,29,30,31},2008/06/{1,2}'
> Pig doesn't seem to like this though as it's trying to interpret it as a
> single path. The best I can do it to use UNION:
> x1 = LOAD '2008/05/{26,27,28,29,30,31}'
> x2 = LOAD '2008/06/{1,2}'
> x = UNION x1, x2
> The downside to this is that I want to parameterize my paths, and having
> separate script for each number of paths in the input is cumbersome.
> Is there a better way of doing this? Are there any plans to support multiple
> paths, and/or PathFilters?
