Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2151:
--------------------------------------

correction : Once there is glob, we can {{listPaths}} if a glob is specified 
for the component otherwise check {{exists()}} for the component.. or something 
like that.. :) we don't need to list all the 5k users for /user/foo/*/.

> FileSyste.globPaths does not validate the return list of Paths

> FileSystem.globPaths does not validate the return list of Paths.
> Here is an example. 
> Consider a directory structure like
> /user/foo/DIR1/FILE1
> /user/foo/DIR2
> now if we pass an input path like "/user/foo/*/FILE1" to 
> FileSystem.globPaths()
> It returns 2 entries as shown below
> /user/foo/DIR1/FILE1
> /user/foo/DIR2/FILE1
> Should globPaths validate this and return only valid Paths? This behavior was 
> caught in FileSystem.validateInput() where an IOException is thrown while 
> processing such a directory structure.
