Chris Douglas commented on HADOOP-10663:
----------------------------------------

I'm confused. This was the change:
{noformat}
         Path mapOutput =  mapOutputFile.getOutputFile();
-        FileSystem localFS = FileSystem.getLocal(conf);
-        return localFS.getFileStatus(mapOutput).getLen();
+        FileSystem fs = mapOutput.getFileSystem(conf);
+        return fs.getFileStatus(mapOutput).getLen();
{noformat}

That code should work if {{mapOutput}} is a fully qualified {{Path}}, right?

> Path.getFileSystem should identify Windows drive (c:) like files and return 
> the localFS

> While investigating the problem with MAPREDUCE-5912 I considered that the 
> fact that asking a Windows specific Path to get its file system should not 
> return the default FS, but the localFS. Specifically, I believe that 
> Path.initialize should identify such names as belonging to the 'file://' 
> scheme (when null) and so create appropriate URIs.
> I do not have the know-how to evaluate the bigger impact of such a change.
