             Summary: Passing relative directories to bulk import fails w/ unhelpful error message
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1171
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Keith Turner


Bulk import does some sanity checks on the client side so that it can fail fast. When a user passes relative directories to bulk import, these sanity checks may pass because cwd+reldir is ok.  Then code then passes these relative dirs to the server side which has a different cwd.  The relative paths fail in the server side and the user does not get a very useful error message.

There are at least two possible solutions :

 * In client code convert relative paths to URIs before passing to server.
 * Reject relative paths in client code
