Chuan Liu commented on HADOOP-9887:
-----------------------------------
bq. do you think it would make more sense to fix this in
Globber#getPathComponents, conditional on whether or not the pattern was
absolute like in the old FileSystem#globStatusInternal?
One problem is that we will lost the drive letter from the components; and we
will list directories from "/" instead of "/C:/". This has two effects: first,
we could list from a wrong drive if the path passed in is not on the current
drive; second, the result will be paths of the pattern without the drive
letter. So I would still prefer the current approach. I can modify the comments
to make it better fit the {{Globber#getPathComponents}} method. What do you
think?

> Recent file system changes have caused globStatus to stop working for paths
> starting with a drive spec on Windows. The problem is most easily visible by
> running {{TestFileUtil#createJarWithClassPath}} on Windows. This method
> attempts a globStatus with pattern {{*\{.jar,.JAR\}}}, and it no longer
> correctly identifies files at the path ending in .jar or .JAR.
