[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-7141) saveAsTextFile() on S3 first creates empty prefix

["Eric O. LEBIGOT (EOL) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7141?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14525120#comment-14525120 ] 

Eric O. LEBIGOT (EOL) commented on SPARK-7141:
----------------------------------------------

Alright: switching to s3n:// fixed the issue.

I am not clear about the reason why (the AWS documentation sometimes recommends s3, sometimes s3n, and the AWS CLI sometimes supports s3n, sometimes it doesn't), but I would be interested to know.

Also, if this workaround can be used in all situations, I guess that it would be marked as a more minor bug?

> Using {{saveAsTextFile("s3://bucket/prefix")}} actually adds an empty prefix, i.e. it writes to {{s3://bucket//prefix}} (note the double slash).
> Example code (in a {{pyspark}} shell):
> {{rdd = sc.parallelize("abcd")}}
> {{rdd.saveAsTextFile("s3://public_key:private_key@bucket/prefix")}}
> This is quite annoying, as the files cannot be saved in the intended location (they can be read, though, with the original path: {{sc.textFile("s3://bucket/prefix")}}, but the AWS console does not show them in the right place).
> Also, many {{block_*}} files are created directly in the bucket: shouldn't they be deleted? (This may be a separate issue, but maybe it is a path issue as well.)
