> {{LocalDirAllocator}} shouldn't accept {{pathStr}} parameter with scheme or authority.
> Currently {{LocalDirAllocator}} accepts {{pathStr}} with scheme or authority, When {{pathStr}} with scheme or authority is passed to {{getLocalPathForWrite}}, it will bypass {{localDirs}} to use {{pathStr}} directly , then the return Path will be independent with {{localDirs}}.
> The reason is the following:
> {{LocalDirAllocator}} will use {{new Path(new Path(localDirs[dirNumLastAccessed]), pathStr)}} as the return Path.
> The constructor code for {{Path}} is
> {code}
>   public Path(Path parent, Path child) {
>     // Add a slash to parent's path so resolution is compatible with URI's
>     URI parentUri = parent.uri;
>     String parentPath = parentUri.getPath();
>     if (!(parentPath.equals("/") || parentPath.isEmpty())) {
>       try {
>         parentUri = new URI(parentUri.getScheme(), parentUri.getAuthority(),
>                       parentUri.getPath()+"/", null, parentUri.getFragment());
>       } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
>         throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
>       }
>     }
>     URI resolved = parentUri.resolve(child.uri);
>     initialize(resolved.getScheme(), resolved.getAuthority(),
>                resolved.getPath(), resolved.getFragment());
>   }
> {code}
> The above {{Path}} constructor code will call {{URI#resolve}} to merge the parent path with child path.
> {code}
>     private static URI resolve(URI base, URI child) {
>         // check if child if opaque first so that NPE is thrown
>         // if child is null.
>         if (child.isOpaque() || base.isOpaque())
>             return child;
>         // 5.2 (2): Reference to current document (lone fragment)
>         if ((child.scheme == null) && (child.authority == null)
>             && child.path.equals("") && (child.fragment != null)
>             && (child.query == null)) {
>             if ((base.fragment != null)
>                 && child.fragment.equals(base.fragment)) {
>                 return base;
>             }
>             URI ru = new URI();
>             ru.scheme = base.scheme;
>             ru.authority = base.authority;
>             ru.userInfo = base.userInfo;
>             ru.host = base.host;
>             ru.port = base.port;
>             ru.path = base.path;
>             ru.fragment = child.fragment;
>             ru.query = base.query;
>             return ru;
>         }
>         // 5.2 (3): Child is absolute
>         if (child.scheme != null)
>             return child;
>         URI ru = new URI();             // Resolved URI
>         ru.scheme = base.scheme;
>         ru.query = child.query;

>             String cp = (child.path == null) ? "" : child.path;
>             if ((cp.length() > 0) && (cp.charAt(0) == '/')) {
>                 // 5.2 (5): Child path is absolute
>                 ru.path = child.path;
>             } else {
>                 // 5.2 (6): Resolve relative path
>                 ru.path = resolvePath(base.path, cp, base.isAbsolute());

>             ru.port = child.port;
>             ru.path = child.path;
>         }
>         // 5.2 (7): Recombine (nothing to do here)
>         return ru;
>     }
> {code}
> You can see if the child's uri has scheme or authority, it won't use anything from parent's uri.
> This will hide the issue for user. For example, user passed file:///build/test/temp as {{pathStr}} parameter to {{getLocalPathForWrite}}.
> Later on user may run into very strange problem: /build/test/temp directory is full because return path is not from {{localDirs}}. This makes the issue very difficult for user to debug. So it will be better to reject {{pathStr}} parameter with scheme or authority.
