Charles Pritchard commented on HIVE-637:
----------------------------------------

I just hit this ancient issue, with a bunch of very small files uploaded into a bucket – all I'm looking to do is create external table derp (data blob) location '/bad/place' as I will be running a select __INPUT_FILE_NAME_, data command subsequent.

> A blob table has a single column of type string. We put all data from the row into that column.
> At present we are able to create blob table like this:
> {code}
> CREATE TABLE blobTable1 (blob STRING)
>   ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe'
>   WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (
>     'serialization.last.column.takes.rest'='true'
>   )
>   STORED AS TEXTFILE;
> CREATE TABLE blobTable1 (blob STRING)
>   ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe'
>   WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (
>     'serialization.last.column.takes.rest'='true'
>   )
>   STORED AS SEQUENCEFILE;
> {code}
> We should add a simpler way to create such a table, since it's pretty popular.
