Description

Repro steps:
with folder structure like: /ab/c d/ef.txt
hadoop command (hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /ab/ /) or (hadoop fs -copyFromLocal "/ab/c d/" /) fail with error:
copyFromLocal: File file:/ab/c%20d/ef.txt does not exist

However command (hadoop fs -copyFromLocal "/ab/c d/ef.txt" /) success.

Seems like hadoop treat file and directory differently when "copyFromLocal".
This only happens in Hadoop 2 and causing 2 Hive unit test failures (external_table_with_space_in_location_path.q and load_hdfs_file_with_space_in_the_name.q).
