Andras Bokor commented on HADOOP-9474:
--------------------------------------
I don't think it is an issue. This behavior is in sync with Unix way. Your
cannot copy files to a non-existing directory but you can copy a directory to
another path:
{code}$ cp mydir/* fakedir
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ...
target_directory
$ cp mydir/* existingdir
$ ls existingdir/
1 2
$ cp -r mydir/ fakedir; ls fakedir
1 2{code}
> fs -put command doesn't work if 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 correctly complains that the 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.
