Sean Owen commented on SPARK-15899: ----------------------------------- OK, I had assumed that absolute paths on Windows would have to be specified like {{/c:/paths/to}}. I know that normal Windows paths are {{c:\paths\to}} of course, but this is a somewhat different context. OK, so what is the value of the System property user.dir on Windows? does it start with c: and not /c: ? Yeah, then I see that this needs some special handling. You're right, we could have a utility method that just adds a {{/}} at the start if none is present, but that would silently turn relative paths into non-relative. Can we use the {{File}} or {{Paths}} API to really do this right? it should give a URI object whose string rep is, I hope, exactly what's desired. > file scheme should be used correctly > ------------------------------------ > > Key: SPARK-15899 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15899 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Spark Core > Reporter: Kazuaki Ishizaki > Priority: Minor > > [A RFC|https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt] defines file scheme as > {{file://host/}} or {{file:///}}. > [Wikipedia|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme] > [Some code > stuffs|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/internal/SQLConf.scala#L58] > use different prefix such as {{file:}}. > It would be good to prepare a utility method to correctly add {{file://host}} > or {{file://} prefix. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
