Can Hive recursively descend into subdirectories without partitions or editing hive-site.xml?

Question

I have some web server logs that I\'d like to query with Hive. The directory structure, in HDFS, looks like this:

/data/access/web1/2014/09
/data/access/web1         


        

Answer 1

These are not tables properties.

TBLPROPERTIES ("hive.input.dir.recursive" = "TRUE", 
    "hive.mapred.supports.subdirectories" = "TRUE",
    "hive.supports.subdirectories" = "TRUE", 
    "mapred.input.dir.recursive" = "TRUE");

A) add

  
    mapred.input.dir.recursive
    true
  

  
    hive.mapred.supports.subdirectories
    true
  

in hive-site.xml
