Remus Rusanu commented on HADOOP-10663:
---------------------------------------
[~cnauroth] I agree, lets go with MAPREDUCE-5912. But on the argument of the
hypothetical FS that accepts colon I would say than, on the same logic, there
will never ever be a way to determine the FS from a Path that has not scheme.
Any heuristic that infers the FS from name can be defeated by a carefully
constructed future FS :) In other words scheme should be mandatory
> 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.
