> Ultimately as with any feature request, it is a game of trade-offs that must balance utility with cost I fully agree with that 💯 > With regards to adding a check method, I think that might be very difficult to do in practice - what paths are valid ends up being filesystem specific, the only reliable mechanism to know if a file is valid for the given filesystem(s) involved is to actually create the file... We could at least try to apply some heuristics that are better than our current approach, e.g. when the store is created you know the operating system and you know the prefix path length. We could even go further and try to detect the file system, but I think there's likely a pragmatic middle ground here that is not perfect but good enough for a vast majority of use cases. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
