Chris Douglas commented on HADOOP-10663: ---------------------------------------- Ah, I misunderstood this bug, then. I thought that {{Path}} instances that included the drive spec failed to resolve to the local FS, and missed the interaction with the default FS. Closing this as WONTFIX makes sense. > Path.getFileSystem should identify Windows drive (c:) like files and return > the localFS > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-10663 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10663 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Remus Rusanu > Assignee: Remus Rusanu > Attachments: HADOOP-10663.1.patch > > > While investigating the problem with MAPREDUCE-5912 I considered that the > fact that asking a Windows specific Path to get its file system should not > return the default FS, but the localFS. Specifically, I believe that > Path.initialize should identify such names as belonging to the 'file://' > scheme (when null) and so create appropriate URIs. > I do not have the know-how to evaluate the bigger impact of such a change. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
