I was thinking about this a bit more and worrying about "maybe I should leave the switch in but true everywhere and only document in minimal terms" Why so? Because it is doing something unusual: renaming paths. If anyone ever tried to do a distcp from, say, hdfs and there were __magic paths in there, they'd trigger the behaviour. With a switch to turn it off for those operations, at least if someone complains that we are doing bad things. Note: given the hdfs rule that _ is the temp prefix I'm not over-worried, but I just think it may be good to have an emergency way to unwind ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
