Hi,

I have read that hadoop supports native operations over S3 Filesystem so
you're able to perform operations like:

hadoop fs -ls s3n://mybucket/my_folder/

or:

hadoop fs -copy s3n://mybucket/my_folder /tmp/my_folder

I'm wondering why hive is not able to perform similar operations. It would
be a very good feature load data directly from S3 to Hive, something like:

hive -e "LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH 's3n://mybucket/my_hive_table' INTO
TABLE my_hive_table PARTITION(dt='2011-11-11');"

Right now this is not possible. What do you think? Which classes should be
changed?
