Jitendra Nath Pandey commented on HADOOP-7973: ---------------------------------------------- bq. Unbalanced opens & closes would lead to situations where a close, that formerly caused all fs streams to close, would be deferred into the future (if ever). It is a very common usage pattern that filesystem objects are not closed at all, therefore it should be ok to have less number of closes than opens, with reference count. > DistributedFileSystem close has severe consequences > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7973 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7973 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Daryn Sharp > Assignee: Daryn Sharp > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: HADOOP-7973-2.patch, HADOOP-7973-3.patch, > HADOOP-7973-4.patch, HADOOP-7973.patch > > > The way {{FileSystem#close}} works is very problematic.
