Tom White commented on HADOOP-6733:
-----------------------------------

I totally agree, but we need to start somewhere. My hope is to have some basic 
sanity checks for compatibility which we can release 0.21 with. Over time I 
would hope that the API tests are built out to cover more of the codebase.

> Create a test for FileSystem API compatibility between releases
