Ivan Mitic commented on HADOOP-9018: ------------------------------------ Thanks Arpit for clarifying. So we are just trying to harden the support around Windows absolute paths. Overall, I am fine with the latest patch. I see room for additional improvements/cleanup, but that could be done separately (I might try to do something here if I get some spare cycles). > Reject invalid Windows URIs > --------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9018 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9018 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: trunk-win > Environment: Windows > Reporter: Arpit Agarwal > Assignee: Arpit Agarwal > Attachments: HADOOP-9018.1.patch, HADOOP-9018.2.patch, > HADOOP-9018.patch > > Original Estimate: 24h > Remaining Estimate: 24h > > This JIRA is to make handling of improperly constructed file URIs for Windows > local paths more rigorous. e.g. reject "file:///c:\\Windows" > Valid file URI syntax explained at > http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2006/12/06/file-uris-in-windows.aspx. > Also see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8953 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
