             Summary: Investigate the usage of normalizePath()
                 Key: SPARK-10347
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10347
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SparkR
            Reporter: Sun Rui
            Priority: Minor


Currently normalizePath() is used in several places allowing users to specify 
paths via the use of tilde expansion, or to normalize a relative path to an 
absolute path. However, normalizePath() is used for paths which are actually 
expected to be a URI. normalizePath() may display warning messages when it does 
not recognize a URI as a local file path. So suppressWarnings() is used to 
suppress the possible warnings.

Worse than warnings, call normalizePath() on a URI may cause error. Because it 
may turn a user specified relative path to an absolute path using the local 
current directory, but this may not be true because the path is actually 
relative to the working directory of the default file system instead of the 
local file system (depends on the Hadoop configuration of Spark).
