Ajith S commented on HADOOP-8087: --------------------------------- Thanks for the pointers, I have a query Acc to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3 It says "If a URI does not contain an authority component, then the path cannot begin with two slash characters ("//")" I find it conflicting with your comment. Please correct me if I'm wrong. > Paths that start with a double slash cause "No filesystem for scheme: null" > errors > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8087 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8087 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 0.24.0 > Reporter: Daryn Sharp > Assignee: Rajesh Kartha > Attachments: HADOOP-8087.001.patch, HADOOP-8087.002.patch, > HADOOP-8087.003.patch, HADOOP-8087.004.patch, HADOOP-8087.005.patch > > > {{Path}} is incorrectly parsing {{//dir/path}} in a very unexpected way. > While it should translate to the directory {{$fs.default.name}/dir/path}}, it > instead discards the {{//dir}} and returns > {{$fs.default.name/path}}. The problem is {{Path}} is trying to parsing an > authority even when a scheme is not present. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
