Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-13648:
-----------------------------------------

there's a risk this break things unless its configurable, though I'd like to change the default so that this doesn't throw an FNFE

{code}
hadoop fs -ls s3a:/bucket
{code}

...without a trailing / it qualifies to to the home dir, if that's not there, exception

> The home directory of an s3a instances is {{/user/" + System.getProperty("user.name"))}}. As HADOOP-12774 notes, it gets the user wrong: if it were to be correct it should use the shortname of the current principal.
> I don't think the username is valid here at all. s3a buckets are not filesystems with users and permissions; all this per-user home dir appears to do is cause confusion, and end up putting the output of an {{hadoop fs -rm}} operation into a directory under it.
> If we made it "/" then it'd be the same for all users, and "/.Trash" would be where deleted files get copied to
