Doug Judd commented on HADOOP-4379:
-----------------------------------

It looks like our code depends on the length, as returned by getFileStatus:

length = mFilesystem.getFileStatus(new Path(fileName)).getLen();

It appears that the length returned by this API call is not correct.  Can you 
take a look at it and maybe patch this one as well?
