Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-6356: --------------------------------------- If not a cache, then I do think {{FileContext}} would benefit from having a {{close}} method. Right now, {{FileContext}} doesn't provide any kind of reliable shutdown hook where a file system implementor can clean up scarce resources (i.e. background threads allocated during usage). > Add a Cache for AbstractFileSystem in the new FileContext/AbstractFileSystem > framework. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6356 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6356 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > Assignee: Sanjay Radia > > The new filesystem framework, FileContext and AbstractFileSystem does not > implement a cache for AbstractFileSystem. > This Jira proposes to add a cache to the new framework just like with the old > FileSystem. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
