Ok, maybe it's not a bug per se. But I think it somewhat breaks the user's
expectations.
Let's say that given a user's configuration, the default fs is hdfs; I'd
expect that if I specify the log directory to be "/user/vanzin/logs", that
would be in HDFS, not in the local fs. But with the current FileLogger code, it
will assume that is a local path, since there is no scheme defined.
Anyway, the current patch fixes the actual bug; if you think the above
should be handled too I have the code to do it working, but it's not strictly
necessary.
