             Summary: fs -put command doesn't work if I selecting certain files from a local folder
                 Key: HADOOP-9474
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9474
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 1.1.2
            Reporter: Glen Mazza


The following four commands (a) - (d) were run sequentially.  From (a) - (c) HDFS folder "inputABC" does not yet exist.

(a) and (b) are improperly refusing to put the files from conf/*.xml into inputABC because folder inputABC doesn't yet exist.  However, in (c) when I make the same request except with just "conf" (and not "conf/*.xml") HDFS will correctly create inputABC and copy the folders over.  We see that inputABC now exists in (d) when I subsequently try to copy the conf/*.xml folders, it complains that its files already exist there.

IOW, I can put "conf" into a nonexisting HDFS folder and fs will create the folder for me, but I can't do the same with "conf/*.xml" -- but the latter should work equally as well.  The problem appears to be in org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil, line 176, which properly routes "conf" to have its files copied but will have "conf/*.xml" subsequently return a "nonexisting folder" error.
