---------------------------------

             Summary: new Uri(path) in REEF.NET IO Returns Lowercase String
                 Key: REEF-1827
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/REEF-1827
             Project: REEF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: REEF.NET IO
    Affects Versions: 0.15
            Reporter: Shouheng Yi
            Priority: Minor


In the [Org.Apache.REEF.IO.FileSystem.IFileSystem|https://github.com/apache/reef/blob/3531944f11cc115b105a6bec4268713766425034/lang/cs/Org.Apache.REEF.IO/FileSystem/IFileSystem.cs], we have many methods that are based on C#'s Uri. For example:

{code:none}
void CopyToLocal(Uri remoteFileUri, string localName);
void CreateDirectory(Uri directoryUri);
...
{code}

From the logging and my experiments, this converts path to lowercase characters. For example:
{code:none}
new Uri("hdfs://XYZ123/mypath/data.txt") // Returns "hdfs://xyz123/mypath/data.txt"
{code}

If we are interacting with hdfs, in the subsequent dfs command in [Org.Apache.REEF.IO.FileSystem.Hadoop|https://github.com/apache/reef/blob/3531944f11cc115b105a6bec4268713766425034/lang/cs/Org.Apache.REEF.IO/FileSystem/Hadoop/HadoopFileSystem.cs]:
{code:none}
public void CopyToLocal(Uri remoteFileUri, string localName)
{
    _commandRunner.Run("dfs -get " + remoteFileUri + " " + localName);
}
{code}
this will fail, since hdfs is case-sensitive. I'm wondering if we are open to the idea of having some string based APIs that ensure users that they are passing the exact path as they specified in their code. Thanks!
