Hive select csv files only from directory - hive

Question

I have the following file structure
/base/{yyyy-mm-dd}/
folder1/
folderContainingCSV/
logs/
I want to load the data from my base directory for all dates. But the problem is that there are files in non csv.gz format in log/ directory. Is there a way to select only csv.gz files while querying from base directory level.
Sample query:-
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS csvData (
`col1` string,
`col2` string,
`col3` string,
`col4` string,
`col5` string
)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (
'serialization.format' = ',',
'field.delim' = '|'
) LOCATION 's3://base/'
TBLPROPERTIES ('has_encrypted_data'='true');

You may not do this at table creation level. You need to copy all the *.gz file separately into another folder.
This may be done within the hive script (containing the create table statement) itself. Just add below command at the beginning of the hive script (just before create table)
dfs -mkdir -p /new/path/folder
dfs -cp /regular/log/file/*.gz /new/path/folder
Now, you may create the external table pointing to new/path/folder.
