Sivanesan commented on HIVE-5795:
---------------------------------
But it was the other way around. It was able to skip if the file size is lesser
than block size and skips random detail record if the file size is more than
block size.
My assumption: While using CombineHiveInputFormat, a record around end of first
block is skipped.

> Hive should be able to skip header and footer lines when reading data file
> from table. In this way, user don't need to processing data which generated
> by other application with a header or footer and directly use the file for
> table operations.
> To implement this, the idea is adding new properties in table descriptions to
> define the number of lines in header and footer and skip them when reading
> the record from record reader. An DDL example for creating a table with
> header and footer should be like this:
> {code}
> Create external table testtable (name string, message string) row format
> delimited fields terminated by '\t' lines terminated by '\n' location
> '/testtable' tblproperties ("skip.header.line.count"="1",
> "skip.footer.line.count"="2");
> {code}
