Error while using "listFiles(File dir)"

[Mohammad Tariq <do...@gmail.com>]

Hello list,

   I am trying to list all the files present in a Hdfs directory using
"listFiles(File dir)", but I am getting the following error -

   Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI
scheme is not "file"
	at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:383)
	at filereader2.TransferFileToHDFS.main(TransferFileToHDFS.java:36)

  Why is it expecting the scheme not to be "hdfs", even when I am
using the "org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil"??

  I am creating a File object using the URI of the hdfs directory in
which all the files, I am trying to list down, are present.May be I am
missing something or committing some mistake.Need some help.Many
thanks.

Regards,

I don't have your code to tell you exactly where you are going wrong,
but you seem to be using File with hdfs-URIs, which isn't possible
without some further tweaks. Use proper Path objects with
FileUtil.copy* instead?
