[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-24200) Read subdirectories with out asterisks

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-24200?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

kumar updated SPARK-24200:
--------------------------
    Description: 
String folder = "/Users/test/data/";

sparkContext.textFile(folder, 1).toJavaRDD() 

Is asterisks mandatory to read a folder -Yes, otherwise it does not read files under subdirectories.

What if I get a folder which is having more subdirectories than the number of asterisks mentioned ? How to handle this scenario ?

For example:

1) {{/Users/test/data/}} This would work ONLY if I get data as /Users/test/data/folder1/file.txt

2)How to make this expression as *generic* ? It should still work if I get a folder as: {{/Users/test/data/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4}}

My input folder structure is not same all the time.

Is there anything exists in Spark to handle this kind of scenario ?
