Hi, Is it possible ever to not specify the partition variable name when discovering partitions? I'm sure I've seen this demonstrated but of course when it's needed, I can't find it. Can anyone clarify?
I have a number of date-named directories in Amazon AWS S3, containing data stored in sequencefile format: s3://mybucket/path/to/data/20120220 s3://mybucket/path/to/data/20120221 ... s3://mybucket/path/to/data/20120226 Here's my hive: hive> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE myData (text STRING) PARTITIONED BY (d STRING) STORED AS SEQUENCEFILE LOCATION 's3n://mybucket/path/to/data/Fixture'; hive> ALTER TABLE myData ADD IF NOT EXISTS PARTITION (d='20120220') LOCATION 's3n://mybucket/path/to/data/20120220'; hive> DESCRIBE myData; text string d string hive> SHOW PARTITIONS myData; d=20120220 hive> ALTER TABLE myData RECOVER PARTITIONS; Time taken: 0.488 seconds hive> SHOW PARTITIONS myData; d=20120220 I'd like to see all my directories discovered as partitions: hive> SHOW PARTITIONS myData; d=20120220 d=20120221 ... d=20120226 Is this only possible using prefixes on my directory names, eg s3://mybucket/path/to/data/d=20120220 s3://mybucket/path/to/data/d=20120221 ... s3://mybucket/path/to/data/d=20120226 Or is there another way to auto-recover partitions?
