Arpit Gupta commented on HADOOP-8963:
-------------------------------------
moved to hadoop common as the bug is in FileUtil.checkDest it returns null as
the destination with "." is used as the destination and users home dir does not
exist. If the file name is used as the destination the file name is returned. I
changed the function to call the checkDest again with srcName as the new
destination.
> CopyFromLocal doesn't always create user directory

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Reporter: Billie Rinaldi
> Assignee: Arpit Gupta
> Priority: Trivial
>
> When you use the command "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename ." before the
> /user/username directory has been created, the file is created with name
> /user/username instead of a directory being created with file
> /user/username/filename. The command "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename
> filename" works as expected, creating /user/username and
> /user/username/filename, and "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename ." works as
> expected if the /user/username directory already exists.
