Summary: org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat.listStatus should not throw an exception if at least one of input path is not empty Key: MAPREDUCE-5859 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5859 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Improvement Components: client Affects Versions: 2.2.0 Reporter: Oleksandr Alesinskyy At the time being org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.input.FileInputFormat.listStatus throws an exception if at least one of input path is empty. This is pretty inconvenient, especially, it there are additional path filters that may exclude some files on the path. It would be nice if an exception will be thrown if and only if there is no one file to process at all (on all input paths combined). If backward compatibility is a priority, a configuration setting may be added (with the default value to retain existing behavior). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
