Harsh J resolved HDFS-58.
-------------------------
Resolution: Cannot Reproduce
This has gone stale, and looking at listStatus impls, looks like it could not
happen.
Can't reproduce, closing out.
> DistributedFileSystem.listPaths with some paths causes directory to be cleared

> Key: HDFS-58
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-58
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
>
> I am currently writing a Ruby wrapper to the Java DFS client libraries via
> JNI. While attempting to test the listPaths method of the FileSystem class, I
> discovered that passing a Path URI like "hdfs://tf11:7276/user/rapleaf"
> results in the /user/rapleaf directory being cleared of all contents. A path
> URI like "hdfs://tf11:7276/user/rapleaf/*" will list the contents of the
> directory without damage.
> I have verified this by creating directories and listing via the bin/hadoop
> dfs -ls command.
> Obviously passing an incorrectly formatted string a method that should be
> read-only should not have destructive effects. Also, the actual required path
> syntax for listings should be recorded in the documentation.
