--------------------------------------------

             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.
