Milind Bhandarkar commented on HDFS-2316:
-----------------------------------------
Before I get tired of the case-sensitivity arguments, let me ask you who you
are designing the system for ? I suppose that is for folks like me, who have
used the URL scheme for more than 18 years now. So, here is my take: anything
after that host:port/ is case sensitive. (Because after host:port/, I know that
it refers to a file system, or a "resource" that ultimately refers to a file
system.) So, please stop arguing, and design it for curmudgeons like me. Even
without the reading glasses, I can recognize the difference between capital and
small letters. Thank you !
