Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-6223: ----------------------------------------- Comments: # For all the new classes added, need to add Interface classification, audience and stability. # AbstractFileSystem.getMyUri() - remove this and use getUri() # AbstractFileSystem should be InterfaceAudience.Public right instead of Private? This goes only into trunk right? Nits: # AbstractFileSystem.java - class comment "interface to for implementors" to "interface for implementors" # AbstractFileSystem.java - spell check words, move member variables to the top of the class # AbstractFileSystem.java - format method comments no to include extra indentation. # DelegateToFileSystem - add comments to describe the class > New improved FileSystem interface for those implementing new files systems. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > 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, > AFS11.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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
