Pengcheng Xiong commented on HIVE-14511:
----------------------------------------
[~pattipaka], as you said, the
{code}
!directoryFound
{code}
is used to check if current folder is a leaf folder (which does not contain any
folder). It was inherited from the original code. We need to discuss if your
claim that "Any path you find at this level will qualify to be a partition." is
valid to all the existing applications. For example, let assume that we only
have 2 partition specifications, now we have /p1=1/p2=1/p3=1/file.txt, so you
mean we should also add /p1=1/p2=1/p3=1 ? I think we should just ignore this
according to my discussion with [~ashutoshc]. thanks.

> Some users will have a folder rather than a file under the last partition
> folder. However, msck is going to search for the leaf folder rather than the
> last partition folder. We need to improve that.
