Owen O'Malley updated HADOOP-619:
---------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
Fix Version/s: 0.10.0
Affects Version/s: 0.9.1
A couple of things:
1. You shouldn't use the "ignored" FileSystem. You should use the file system
for that particular path. (path.getFileSystem(conf)).
2. I think the error conditions should be that either:
a. The list of input directories is empty. (conf.getIputPaths().length ==
0)
b. Any glob pattern matches no files or directories.
3. the hiddenFileFilter is cleaner as:
public boolean accept(Path p) {
return !name.startsWith("_") && !name.startsWith(".");
}
> Unify Map-Reduce and Streaming to take the same globbed input specification

> Right now streaming input is specified very differently from other map-reduce
> input. It would be good if these two apps could take much more similar input
> specs.
> In particular -input in streaming expects a file or glob pattern while MR
> takes a directory. It would be cool if both could take a glob patern of
> files and if both took a directory by default (with some patern excluded to
> allow logs, metadata and other framework output to be safely stored).
> We want to be sure that MR input is backward compatible over this change. I
> propose that a single file should be accepted as an input or a single
> directory. Globs should only match directories if the paterns is '/'
> terminated, to avoid massive inputs specified by mistake.
> Thoughts?
