             Summary: Enable table definition over a single file
                 Key: HIVE-25569
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25569
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Zoltan Haindrich
            Assignee: Zoltan Haindrich


Suppose there is a directory where multiple files are present - and by a 3rd party database system this is perfectly normal - because its treating a single file as the contents of the table.

Tables defined in the metastore follow a different principle - tables are considered to be under a directory - and all files under that directory are the contents of that directory.

To enable seamless migration/evaluation of Hive and other databases using HMS as a metadatabackend the ability to define a table over a single file would be usefull.
