Todd Lipcon commented on HIVE-1083: ----------------------------------- It seems that recursive reading is the default now for Tez execution. Perhaps this can be closed. > allow sub-directories for an external table/partition > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1083 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1083 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Affects Versions: 0.6.0 > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Zheng Shao > Priority: Major > Labels: inputformat > > Sometimes users want to define an external table/partition based on all files > (recursively) inside a directory. > Currently most of the Hadoop InputFormat classes do not support that. We > should extract all files recursively in the directory, and add them to the > input path of the job. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
