>
> 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.
