-----------------------------------------
[~ashutoshc] fyi; you might be the only expert in such obscure matters :) let
me know if you have any input
> get path-to-alias, path-to-work etc recursively in Hive

> Sometimes, we don't get correct alias/part desc/etc. from a split path
> because the path has subdirectories - e.g. in HIVE-15870 (for MM tables).
> We have utility methods to work around that by getting the partdesc
> recursively from the parents of a path, but they are not applied
> consistently; I suspect people add calls to these methods after they discover
> some particular codepath is broken. Perhaps we should find such places
> proactively for path-to-part, path-to-work, and path-to-alias maps.
> This can happen much more with MM tables, but can also happen for any
> recursive-path cases (incl. just a regular recursive path read enabled via an
> MR config).
