[jira] Created: (HDFS-1528) First uploaded file replaces /home/hadoop directory

First uploaded file replaces /home/hadoop directory
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-1528
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1528
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: name-node
    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
         Environment: distributed file system
            Reporter: Faraz Ahmad


This bug shows up in the following scenario:
1. There is no input data on HDFS (i.e., it has been formatted recently).
2. Upload any single file (not directory of files) e.g., build.xml.
3. The original directory /user/hadoop on hdfs will change itself from directory to a file and its contents will contain the contents of the uploaded file.
4. Now HDFS will have a single file /user/hadoop. 
5. HDFS filesystem gets corrupted and we cannot upload any more files or directories.

[jira] Commented: (HDFS-1528) First uploaded file replaces /home/hadoop directory

Faraz Ahmad commented on HDFS-1528:
-----------------------------------

A quick work around which keeps file system intact is :
1. Create an empty directory on hdfs.
2. Then upload the input file.
