How does Configuration.addResource() method work in hadoop

Does Configuration.addResource() method load resource file like ClassLoader of java or it just encapsulates ClassLoader class.Because I find it can not use String like "../resource.xml" as argument of addResource() to load resource file out of classpath, this property is just the same as ClassLoader.
Thx!

Browsing the Javadocs and source code for Configuration, Strings are assumed to be classpaths (line 1162), rather than relative to the file system - you should use URLs to reference files on the local file system as follows:

conf.addResource(new File("../resource.xml").toURI().toURL());
