   @huaxingao What if we say it this way  ? Please feel free to change it the way you see fit.
   
   LOAD DATA statement loads the data into a table from the user specified directory or file. If a directory is specified then all the files from the directory are loaded. If a file is specified then only the single file is loaded. Additionally the `LOAD` statement takes an optional partition specication. When a `partiion-spec` is specified, the data files (when input source is a directory) or the single file (when input source is a file) are loaded into the target table.
