title: When creating an external table in hive can I point the location to specific files in a directory?
body: <p>I have defined a table as such:</p>
  
  <pre><code>create external table PageViews (Userid string, Page_View string)
  partitioned by (ds string)
  row format as delimited fields terminated by ','
  stored as textfile location '/user/data';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I do not want all the files in the /user/data directory to be used as part of the table. Is it possible for me to do the following?</p>
  
  <pre><code>location 'user/data/*.csv'
  </code></pre>
