Daryn Sharp updated HADOOP-8139:
--------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-8139-5.patch
I believe this patch should not introduce incompatibilities with current
behavior.
Had to remove Path(File) logic from RLFS because hadoop can return home dir
paths, etc with / in them. Forcing them to parse as local is inappropriate in
those cases. The "intelligence" when parsing windows paths should now handle
the paths correctly. Moved ^ handling into FileSystem when the path is being
converted from native to ensure consistency in path handling.
Minor change to not parse windows path as native if it contains a /. Corrects
inconsistency where the user may be trying to use URIs and quoting the first
char of the path.
I was able to test by manually flipping the value of Path.WINDOWS. The final
test case of course failed when trying to call cygwin.
Please let me know if this is sufficient for 23.2 w/o a blocker. Thanks!

> Path converts "\" into "/", probably for windows support? This means it's
> impossible for the user to escape metachars in a path name. Glob expansion
> can have deadly results.
> Here are the most egregious examples. A user accidentally creates a path like
> "/user/me/*/file". Now they want to remove it.
> {noformat}"hadoop fs -rmr -skipTrash '/user/me/\*'" becomes...
> "hadoop fs -rmr -skipTrash /user/me/*"{noformat}
> * User/Admin: Nuked their home directory or any given directory
> {noformat}"hadoop fs -rmr -skipTrash '\*'" becomes...
> "hadoop fs -rmr -skipTrash /*"{noformat}
> * User: Deleted _everything_ they have access to on the cluster
> * Admin: *Nukes the entire cluster*
> Note: FsShell is shown for illustrative purposes, however the problem is in
> the Path object, not FsShell.
