Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-6421:
-------------------------------------
Hey Zlatin,
The intent for FileStatus (and FileContext) is to expose a least common
denominator API for all file systems that Hadoop uses (HDFS, Local, S3, etc) so
file system specific stuff like dev, proc, etc are all things we'd like to keep
out of the API.
Thanks,
Eli
