------------------------------------

             Summary: ChRootedFs is too aggressive about enforcing 
"needsAuthority"
                 Key: HADOOP-14211
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14211
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: viewfs
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0
            Reporter: Erik Krogen
            Assignee: Erik Krogen


Right now {{ChRootedFs}} passes the following up to the {{AbstractFileSystem}} 
superconstructor:
{code}
    super(fs.getUri(), fs.getUri().getScheme(),
        fs.getUri().getAuthority() != null, fs.getUriDefaultPort());
{code}
This passes a value of {{authorityNeeded==true}} for any {{fs}} which has an 
authority, but this isn't necessarily the case--ViewFS itself is an example of 
this. In fact you will encounter this issue if you try to nest one ViewFS 
within another--I can't think of any reason why you would want to do that but 
there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to and in general ViewFS is making 
an assumption that it then proves invalid by its own behavior. The 
{{authorityNeeded}} check isn't necessary in this case anyway; {{fs}} is 
already an instantiated {{AbstractFileSystem}} which means it has already used 
the same constructor with the value of {{authorityNeeded}} (and corresponding 
validation) that it actually requires.
