Glen Mazza created HADOOP-9474:
----------------------------------
Summary: fs -put command doesn't work if I selecting certain files
from a local folder
Key: HADOOP-9474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9474
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: fs
Affects Versions: 1.1.2
Reporter: Glen Mazza
The following four commands (a) - (d) were run sequentially. From (a) - (c)
HDFS folder "inputABC" does not yet exist.
(a) and (b) are improperly refusing to put the files from conf/*.xml into
inputABC because folder inputABC doesn't yet exist. However, in (c) when I
make the same request except with just "conf" (and not "conf/*.xml") HDFS will
correctly create inputABC and copy the folders over. We see that inputABC now
exists in (d) when I subsequently try to copy the conf/*.xml folders, it
complains that its files already exist there.
IOW, I can put "conf" into a nonexisting HDFS folder and fs will create the
folder for me, but I can't do the same with "conf/*.xml" -- but the latter
should work equally as well. The problem appears to be in
org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil, line 176, which properly routes "conf" to have
its files copied but will have "conf/*.xml" subsequently return a "nonexisting
folder" error.
