Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-2316: ---------------------------------------------- @Alejandro > On #3, it will be confusing to users that part of the URL is case sensitive > (the path) and part it is not (the query-string). Given that HDFS is case > sensitive, making the path case insensitive is not an option. Thus, I'm > suggesting to make it all case sensitive and there will be no confusion there. We cannot make it all case sensitive, e.g. scheme and authority are case insensitive.
