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

> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-6223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6223
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Sanjay Radia
> Assignee: Sanjay Radia
> Attachments: AbstractFileSystem.java, afs1.patch, AFS10.patch,
> AFS4.patch, Hdfs.java, Hdfs.java

>
> The FileContext API (HADOOP-4952) provides an improved interface for the
> application writer.
> This lets us simplify the FileSystem API since it will no longer need to deal
> with notions of default filesystem [ / ], wd, and config
> defaults for blocksize, replication factor etc. Further it will not need the
> many overloaded methods for create() and open() since
> the FileContext API provides that convenience.
> The FileSystem API can be simplified and can now be restricted to those
> implementing new file systems.
> This jira proposes that we create new file system API, and deprecate
> FileSystem API after a few releases.
