Aaron Fabbri commented on HADOOP-14457:
---------------------------------------

Good summary [~mackrorysd].  One thing I'll add about my preference here (which 
is to commit your patch and add a capabilities check as a performance 
optimization, pending fixing create()), is the design of the MetadataStore 
interface.  I prefer it to be:

1. Simple to implement.
2. Not specific to S3A internals.
3. Explicit in the way state is mutated (a trailing log of FS metadata changes).

For #3, I prefer the basic contract to remain that an FS client reports 
metadata changes it makes explicitly.  When create() happens, for example, if 
the FS client is creating ancestor directories, I'd like to see those creations 
reported directly via the API, instead of requiring all implementations to 
deduce them from the path.  Besides the design preference, *consuming the 
stream of modifications as they happen also makes things like pruning or TTL 
expiry possible* as we see directory creation when it happens.  We have no idea 
of the age of a directory path, for instance, if we allow the FS to skip 
reporting its creation.

In my experience explicit APIs like this are easier to reason about and less 
likely to hide bugs and allow for general sloppiness.

Finally, I do not think this case of create() being broken is compelling enough 
to change the above design that exists today.  I also don't feel like it 
warrants the additional complexity of a putRecursive() method on MetadataStore 
(which also suffers from the TTL issue).  Separation of concerns here, to me, 
means S3A's broken create() does not infect MetadataStore.

> Not a great test yet, but it at least reliably demonstrates the issue. 
> LocalMetadataStore will sometimes erroneously report that a directory is 
> empty with isAuthoritative = true when it *definitely* has children the 
> metadatastore should know about. It doesn't appear to happen if the children 
> are just directory. The fact that it's returning an empty listing is 
> concerning, but the fact that it says it's authoritative *might* be a second 
> bug.
