Description

When you use the command "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename ." before the /user/username directory has been created, the file is created with name /user/username instead of a directory being created with file /user/username/filename. The command "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename filename" works as expected, creating /user/username and /user/username/filename, and "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename ." works as expected if the /user/username directory already exists.
