Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-6427:
-------------------------------------
The motivation for this is that symlink targets need to be fully qualified, eg
file:///f is a valid link target because it's fully qualified but hdfs:///f is
not. I ran into this when writing a test that links from Hdfs to LocalFs.

> The Path class has a method to make a path qualified but not to query if the
> path is qualified. This is needed for HADOOP-64221. In addition this patch
> adds tests to TestPath that cover the file scheme. Note that "fully
> qualified" applies to domain names not URIs so this function and it tests
> also serve to define what we mean by a fully qualified path.
