Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6427:
--------------------------------------

RFC 1738 concerns URLs, a subset of URIs.  Hadoop Path's are a subset of URIs 
to, but not the same subset.  It might be reasonable for someone to layer an 
encrypted local filesystem implemetation using sfile: URIs with no schema.  So 
I still think we shouldn't special-case file: uris here.

Can you further describe the use-case for this method?  When will it be called?

> The Path class has a method to make a path qualified but not to query if the 
> path is qualified. This is needed for HADOOP-64221. In addition this patch 
> adds tests to TestPath that cover the file scheme. Note that "fully 
> qualified" applies to domain names not URIs so this function and it tests 
> also serve to define what we mean by a fully qualified path.
