[Hadoop-common-dev] [jira] Created: (HADOOP-3170) FileSystem.getUri().resolve() should handle Path created on Windows

FileSystem.getUri().resolve() should handle Path created on Windows
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: HADOOP-3170
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3170
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: windows
Reporter: lohit vijayarenu


FileSystem.getUri() returns URI constructed from string "file:///" This when applied to absolute Paths created on Windows breaks. For example when using a patch constructed like this with DistributedCache(). makeAbsolute(Path) seems to return path with drive letter followed by colon. URI.resolve() treats this part as authority for local filesystem on windows.
