[HUDI-14922] Fix Windows path separator in DFSPropertiesConfiguration.getConfPathFromEnv by mailtoboggavarapu-coder · Pull Request #18454 · apache/hudi

mailtoboggavarapu-coder · 2026-04-02T18:21:22Z

Describe the issue this Pull Request addresses

DFSPropertiesConfiguration.getConfPathFromEnv() uses File.separator when constructing storage paths. On Windows, File.separator is a backslash (\\), which is invalid for HDFS and cloud storage paths that always require a forward slash. This causes path construction to break when running Hudi on Windows.

Fixes #14922

Summary and Changelog

Fixed cross-platform path handling in DFSPropertiesConfiguration by replacing File.separator with StoragePath.SEPARATOR, which always returns the correct forward-slash separator for storage paths.

DFSPropertiesConfiguration.java: Replaced File.separator with StoragePath.SEPARATOR in getConfPathFromEnv() to ensure valid HDFS/cloud storage paths on Windows.

Impact

No public API or user-facing feature change. Fixes path construction for users running Hudi on Windows.

Risk Level

low — Single-line constant substitution; no logic change. StoragePath.SEPARATOR is the established Hudi constant for storage path separators.

Documentation Update

none

LGTM — clean, targeted fix that correctly swaps the OS-dependent File.separator for the storage-layer constant StoragePath.SEPARATOR, ensuring HDFS/cloud paths always use / even when the agent runs on Windows. CI passes and the change is minimal with no behavioral impact on non-Windows platforms.

      confDir = "file://" + confDir;
    }
-    return Option.of(new StoragePath(confDir + File.separator + DEFAULT_PROPERTIES_FILE));
+    return Option.of(new StoragePath(confDir + StoragePath.SEPARATOR + DEFAULT_PROPERTIES_FILE));


🤖 This fixes the join separator correctly. One thing I'm wondering about: on Windows, HUDI_CONF_DIR would typically be set to something like C:\hudi\conf, so after the file:// prefix is added you'd end up with file://C:\hudi\conf/hudi-defaults.conf — mixed separators. Is there a follow-up needed to normalize the backslashes in confDir itself before constructing the StoragePath? Or does StoragePath's URI parsing handle that gracefully?

Pinging for committer approval. This PR (HUDI-14922) fixes the Windows path separator issue in DFSPropertiesConfiguration.getConfPathFromEnv so that config paths work correctly on both Windows and Unix. @yihua has already reviewed and LGTM'd this. Would appreciate a review and merge from a committer with write access to apache/hudi (@vinothchandrasekar / @alexeykudinkin / @danny0405 / @nsivabalan).

CI Build Failures — Master Branch Issue (not this PR)

The Java CI build failures on this PR are not caused by our code changes. Investigation shows this is a master branch build issue introduced by commit d3e0201 ("fix(common): FutureUtils:allOf should always throw root cause exception", merged 2026-04-15T22:30Z).

Evidence:

The master branch CI run for d3e0201 (run 24481746190) shows the same "Build Project" step failures in test-common-and-other-modules and test-spark-java-tests-part2 jobs
Our code changes touch completely unrelated files (DFSPropertiesConfiguration.java / HiveIncrementalPuller.java / FileSystemBasedLockProvider.java / SqlFileBasedSource.java) — none of which interact with FutureUtils
The last successful PR CI run before d3e0201 (nsivabalan's run at 21:53 UTC same day) passed all 53/53 jobs with identical matrix configuration
Build failures occur in ~83–111 seconds (a full Maven build normally takes 340s+), consistent with an early Maven resolution/plugin failure rather than a compilation error in our code

The CI situation is being tracked. Once the master build stabilises, a re-run of CI on this PR should pass.

cc @vinothchandrasekar @alexeykudinkin @danny0405 @nsivabalan — would appreciate a re-run once the master build issue is resolved.

@danny0405 Thank you for merging #18457 and #18467!

This PR (#18454) is the remaining Windows path-separator fix — [HUDI-14922] — a one-line change replacing File.separator with StoragePath.SEPARATOR in DFSPropertiesConfiguration.getConfPathFromEnv() to fix cross-platform compatibility. Branch has been synced with the latest master and fresh CI has been triggered (run 24512491916). Would appreciate a review when you get a chance!

CI Re-triggered After Master Fix

Master has advanced past the broken d3e020132a commit (the FutureUtils:allOf change that broke Spark CI). Additionally, PRs #18457 and #18467 from this series have already been merged into master.

This branch has been synced with the updated master and an empty commit was pushed to re-trigger CI. CI results on this run should be clean.

…iesConfiguration Replaces File.separator with "/" (HDFS paths always use forward slash) and removes the now-unused import java.io.File. Fixes apache#14922
