A couple of simple questions on logfile organization in HDFS and referenced by 
an external table.
1.An external table location must sit on top of the HDFS directory containing 
the logfiles.It can not sit 2 HDFS directory levels above the logfiles and 
reference. Ex. logfiles organized by   /logfile/year/month/day  
/logfile/2013/05/20/2013-05-20-1-nnnnnn.tsv  
/logfile/2013/05/20/2013-05-20-2-nnnnnn.tsv  ....The external table location 
can't be '/logfile/2013/05';
2. is #1 related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1083?thanksJohn
