[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-423) file paths are not normalized

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-423?page=comments#action_12433008 ] 
            
Wendy Chien commented on HADOOP-423:
------------------------------------

To fix this, we'll detect and normalize relative paths in the Path class.  For backwards compatibility, we'll allow people to rename or remove existing files/dirs that contain '.' or '..' .  Or do people think that's not necessary because it's unlikely anyone has been using '.' and '..' in their paths intentionally?  (Though I suppose if they did unintentionally, it might be nice to let them remove them.)

> Paths containing  '.' or '..' are not normalized -- the corresponding directories actually seem to be created. This is inconsistent and unexpected behavior, and  is particularly painful when running from a working directory, using relative paths that start with ...
