eric baldeschwieler commented on HADOOP-2066: --------------------------------------------- I think it makes great sense to support a URI interface to the FS. I recall championing that. I'm not at all sure it makes sense to define what is a valid filename based on a URI library. URI can support quoting and we will undoubtedly support several non-URI interfaces to the FS. I can create filenames with colon's on my mac btw. Not that I see why our filenames should be defined by the limits of what all supported client platforms can support. I think this issue requires more thought. > filenames with ':' colon throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-2066 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2066 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Reporter: lohit vijayarenu > Attachments: 2066_20071022.patch, HADOOP-2066.patch > > > File names containing colon ":" throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException > while LINUX file system supports it. > $ hadoop dfs -put ./testfile-2007-09-24-03:00:00.gz filenametest > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: > java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute > URI: testfile-2007-09-24-03:00:00.gz > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.initialize(Path.java:140) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.<init>(Path.java:126) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.<init>(Path.java:50) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil.checkDest(FileUtil.java:273) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil.copy(FileUtil.java:117) > at > org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.copyFromLocalFile(FileSystem.java:776) > at > org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.copyFromLocalFile(FileSystem.java:757) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FsShell.copyFromLocal(FsShell.java:116) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FsShell.run(FsShell.java:1229) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolBase.doMain(ToolBase.java:187) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.FsShell.main(FsShell.java:1342) > Caused by: java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI: > testfile-2007-09-24-03:00:00.gz > at java.net.URI.checkPath(URI.java:1787) > at java.net.URI.<init>(URI.java:735) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path.initialize(Path.java:137) > ... 10 more > Path(String pathString) when given a filename which contains ':' treats it as > URI and selects anything before ':' as > scheme, which in this case is clearly not a valid scheme. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
