Kengo Seki updated HADOOP-11903:
--------------------------------
    Description: Providing yetus with the functionality to detect newly added 
files which doesn't follow the naming convention. As for java, it also can be 
used for checking classnames. In the past, we've named things like 
DefaultResourceCalculator, DefaultContainerExecutor, and DefaultCodec that do 
nothing but cause problems down the road since they are effectively version and 
functionality locked forever.  If these examples had been named what they truly 
were (e.g., MemoryResourceCalculator, SimpleContainerExecutor, and GZipCodec), 
the defaults could then be changed in the future in a compatible way. One way 
to enforce this is to prevent the creation of new classes called 
Default-anything.   (was: As for java, it can be used for checking classnames.
