Tom White commented on HADOOP-5635:
-----------------------------------

Andrew,

This looks like a good change to me. Have you thought how to write a unit test 
for this?

Also, the documentation in DistributedCache should be updated to remove HDFS 
assumptions.

> Currently the DistributedCache does a check to see if the file to be included 
> is an HDFS URI. If the URI isn't in HDFS, it returns the default filesystem. 
> This prevents using other distributed file systems -- such as s3, s3n, or kfs 
>  -- with distributed cache. When a user tries to use one of those 
> filesystems, it reports an error that it can't find the path in HDFS.
