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

["Raghotham Murthy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1083?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12803576#action_12803576 ] 

Raghotham Murthy commented on HIVE-1083:
----------------------------------------

The one use case where this will be helpful is when creating external tables on existing directory trees. We currently need to create one partition per lowest level directory. Instead, it would be great if hive allowed creation of a partition on a top-level directory and hive picks up all files within that directory tree.
