Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8953:
-------------------------------------
bq. PathData seems to replicate a lot of the logic from Path, can we avoid this?
Sadly, no. The {{Path}} object will munge the path in various ways such that
you can't get the string back used to create the {{Path}} object. This
requires {{PathData}} to maintain its own copy of the path string so the output
to the user matches exactly what they provided to the command. {{Path}} also
strips trailing slashes which breaks the shell's ability to disambiguate if the
path is to be treated as a directory.
