Github user vdiravka commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/824#discussion_r123331277 --- Diff: exec/java-exec/src/main/java/org/apache/drill/exec/store/parquet/Metadata.java --- @@ -748,6 +771,22 @@ public ParquetTableMetadataDirs(List<String> directories) { return directories; } + /** If directories list contains relative paths, update it to absolute ones --- End diff -- Yes, we do, internally we use absolute paths (for the FileSelection, FileStatus, ReadEntryWithPath). By the way it is possible to convert paths to absolute ones just before retrieving, but converting immediately after deserializing has advantages: avoiding of the keeping the metadata with appropriate `baseDir`, avoiding of the over number of checking the type of the path and avoiding an extra converting paths (when the data is retrieved several times from one metadata object).
