Seems to me like you are looking for globbing your path results out. This is possible, just pass your pattern to this API call (FileSystem.globStatus instead of FileSystem.listStatus) and then iterate over the returned listing: http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html#globStatus(org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path)
