Hairong Kuang updated HADOOP-1968:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: curlyGlob.patch

This patch allows a glob to use curly brackets as descripbed in the jira. It also makes sure that a file name that contains Java Regex special characters does not get interpreated as an instruction.

There is one problem left with globs which is that glob escape does not work. See HADOOP-1995 for more details. I will fix the escape problem once HADOOP-1995 is resolved.

> We have users who have organized data by day and would like to select several days in a single input specification.  For example they would like to be able to say:
> '/data/2007{0830,0831,0901}/typeX/'
> To input 3 days data into map-reduce (or Pig in this case). 
> (Also the use of regexp to resolve glob paterns looks like it might introduce some other bugs.  I'd appreciate it if someone took another look at the code to see if there are any file characters that could
> be interpreted as regexp "instructions").
