Jakob Homan updated HADOOP-6201:
--------------------------------
Release Note:
Solidify FileSystem contract for listStatus method when the provided path does
not exist. The method is now guaranteed to throw a FileNotFoundException,
whereas some FileSystem implementations had previously returned null in this
case. Existing code that relies on checking for null should be updated to catch
or propagate a FileNotFoundException.
Adding release note.

> As discussed in HDFS-538, it would be better for FileSystem and its
> implementations to throw FileNotFoundException when the file is not found,
> rather than returning null. This will bring it in line with getFileStatus
> and, I expect, default user expectations.
