Github user mridulm commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/19487 I will change from `test:` to `::invalid::` to explicitly indicate an invalid path (I picked the first path which gave me a parse error :) ). On the question of whether `path` constructor param can be invalid - my understanding @steveloughran was that `mapred.output.dir` conf could be set to any arbitrary string for non path based committers, and it is for the output format and committer to handle it suitably ? That is, it need be a valid `Path` and could be encoding some other info ? Hence why I added invalid path handling case - so that we dont keep fighting this `IllegalArgumentException` due to assuming it is a valid path case. If this understanding is incorrect, I agree with @HyukjinKwon and I will need to make it support only `null` and `""`
