> In our env, there are a lot of small files inside one partition/table. In
> order to reduce the namenode load, we have one dedicated housekeeping job
> running to merge these file. Right now the merge is an 'insert overwrite' in
> hive, and requires decompress the data and compress it. This jira is to add a
> command in Hive to do the merge without decompress and recompress the data.
> Something like "alter table tbl_name [partition ()] merge files". In this
> jira the new command will only support RCFile, since there need some new APIs
> to the fileformat.
