support for multiple slashes in the path separator --------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1460 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1460 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: hdfs client Affects Versions: 0.20.1 Environment: Linux running JDK 1.6 Reporter: Sudharsan Sampath Priority: Minor the parsing of the input path string to identify the uri authority conflicts with the file system paths. For instance the following is a valid path in both the linux file system and the hdfs. //user/directory1//directory2. While this works perfectly fine in the command line for manipulating hdfs, the same fails when specified as the input path for a mapper class with the following expcetion. Exception in thread "main" java.net.UnknownHostException: unknown host: user at org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client$Connection.<init>(Client.java:195) as the org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path class assumes the string that follows the '//' to be an uri authority -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
