Assignee: (was: Davor Bonaci)
> Remove ResourceId.getCurrentDirectory()?
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-2069
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2069
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: sdk-java-core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Stephen Sisk
> Labels: backward-incompatible
>
> Beam ResourceId currently has a getCurrentDirectory method that returns the
> current resource id if it's a directory, or the parent directory if it's a
> directory.
> To implement this you need to know whether or not a particular path is a
> directory or not.
> I'm trying to implement the Hadoop ResourceId implementation, and it's not
> clear if it's possible. Hadoop's Paths do not end a / if they are a directory
> (they are stripped), nor do hadoop paths tell you if something is a
> directory, so it's not possible to determine if a given path is a file that
> does not have a suffix, or a directory.
> It's not clear to me that all file systems can determine whether a path is a
> directory and thus I don't believe it can be implemented reliably.
> The only usages of getCurrentDirectory that I could find are in tests so it's
> not clear we actually need this.
> I propose that we remove this method.
