J.Andreina commented on HDFS-9123:
----------------------------------

@Steve Loughran, that was a good point. 

In this testcase, test will fail by the next assertion on return code if 
exception is not thrown.
{code}
        try {
          val = shell.run(args1);
        } catch (Exception e) {
          System.err.println("Exception raised from DFSShell.run " +
                  e.getLocalizedMessage());
        }
        assertEquals(1, val);
{code}
And when i checked , other similar tests also uses the same pattern in this 
test class.

> HDFS forbids copying from a directory to its subdirectory (e.g. hdfs dfs -cp 
> /abc /abc/xyz) as otherwise it could cause infinite copying (/abc/xyz/xyz, 
> /abc/xyz/xyz, /abc/xyz/xyz/xyz,... etc)
> However, if the source path is ended with a '/' path separator, the existing 
> validation for sub-directories fails. For example, copying from / to /abc 
> would cause infinite copying, until the disk space is filled up.
