[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-12631) Can't use windows network drive

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12631?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15049336#comment-15049336 ] 

Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-12631:
----------------------------------------

Yes, UNC paths are not supported currently.  Unfortunately, this is unlikely to change soon.  The {{Path}} class is in wide use throughout the whole Hadoop ecosystem, so any changes there have a high burden of testing and investigation for backwards-compatibility impacts.  In the meantime, I have successfully used mapped network drives (i.e. using the "net use" command) as a workaround.

> When we create a Path like "\\SIMPLESHARE\MyHome$", the double slash  will be normalised to single slash.
