Summary: Add new FileSystem API to support asynchronous method calls Key: HADOOP-12910 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12910 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: New Feature Components: fs Reporter: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze Assignee: Xiaobing Zhou Add a new API, namely FutureFileSystem (or AsynchronousFileSystem, if it is a better name). All the APIs in FutureFileSystem are the same as FileSystem except that the return type is wrapped by Future and they do not throw IOException, e.g. {code} //FileSystem public boolean rename(Path src, Path dst) throws IOException; //FutureFileSystem public Future<Boolean> rename(Path src, Path dst) throws IOException; {code} Note that FutureFileSystem does not extend FileSystem. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
