[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-1083) allow sub-directories for an external table/partition

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1083?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13558674#comment-13558674 ] 

Harsh J commented on HIVE-1083:
-------------------------------

Given that MAPREDUCE-1501 is in MR2 today, and Hive can make use of it, should we close this out now?

> Sometimes users want to define an external table/partition based on all files (recursively) inside a directory.
> Currently most of the Hadoop InputFormat classes do not support that. We should extract all files recursively in the directory, and add them to the input path of the job.
