> In quite a few places "hdfs" is hardcoded, which is OK for majority of the cases, except when it is not really hdfs, but s3 or any other file system.
> The place where it really breaks is:
> in ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/LoadSemanticAnalyzer.java :
> method: private void applyConstraints(URI fromURI, URI toURI, Tree ast, boolean isLocal)
> First few lines are check for file system:
>     if (!fromURI.getScheme().equals("file")
>         && !fromURI.getScheme().equals("hdfs")) {
>       throw new SemanticException(ErrorMsg.INVALID_PATH.getMsg(ast,
>           "only \"file\" or \"hdfs\" file systems accepted"));
>     }
> "hdfs" is hardcoded. 
> I don't think you need to have this check at all as you are checking whether filesystem is local or not later on anyway and in regards to non locla file system - if one would be bad one you would get problems or have it look like local before you even come to "applyConstraints" method.
