Aaron Kimball commented on HADOOP-5958:
---------------------------------------
Another question: o.a.h.fs.DF currently inherits the public interface of
o.a.h.util.Shell; this would be irrelevant if usage of the "df" command itself
were eliminated. Should we:
a) Remove the inheritance from Shell? (incompatible change)
b) Override all the Shell methods with dummies that return meaningless data
(e.g., for getExitCode())
c) ...or?
> Use JDK 1.6 File APIs in DF.java wherever possible

> JDK 1.6 has File APIs like File.getFreeSpace() which should be used instead
> of spawning a command process for getting the various disk/partition related
> attributes. This would avoid spikes in memory consumption by tasks when
> things like LocalDirAllocator is used for creating paths on the filesystem.
