Andy Isaacson created HDFS-4329: ----------------------------------- Summary: DFSShell issues with directories with spaces in name Key: HDFS-4329 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4329 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: hdfs-client Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha Reporter: Andy Isaacson Assignee: Andy Isaacson
The command {{dfs -put /foo/hello.txt dir}} is supposed to create {{dir/hello.txt}} on HDFS. It doesn't work right if "dir" has a space in it: {code} [adi@haus01 ~]$ hdfs dfs -mkdir 'space cat' [adi@haus01 ~]$ hdfs dfs -put /etc/motd 'space cat' [adi@haus01 ~]$ hdfs dfs -cat 'space cat/motd' cat: `space cat/motd': No such file or directory [adi@haus01 ~]$ hdfs dfs -ls space\* Found 1 items -rw-r--r-- 2 adi supergroup 251 2012-12-20 11:16 space%2520cat/motd [adi@haus01 ~]$ hdfs dfs -cat 'space%20cat/motd' Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-30-generic x86_64) ... {code} Note that the {{dfs -ls}} output wrongly encodes the wrongly encoded directory name, turning {{%20}} into {{%2520}}. It does the same thing with space: {code} [adi@haus01 ~]$ hdfs dfs -touchz 'space cat/foo' [adi@haus01 ~]$ hdfs dfs -ls 'space cat' Found 1 items -rw-r--r-- 2 adi supergroup 0 2012-12-20 11:36 space%20cat/foo {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
