You can run Major compaction on the partition in Hive, after the major compaction is done base-**** directory will be created.

Then spark able to read the specific partition which have base-*** directories in it.

But spark not able to read delta directories as there is an open Jira [SPARK-15348] about spark is not able to read acid table.


I think starting from HDP-3.X HiveWareHouseConnector is able to support to read HiveAcid tables.
