CRC computation and reading should move into a nested FileSystem
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-746
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-746
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
            Reporter: Owen O'Malley
         Assigned To: Owen O'Malley


Currently FileSystem provides both an interface and a mechanism for computing 
and checking crc files. I propose splitting the crc code into a nestable 
FileSystem that like the PhasedFileSystem has a backing FileSystem. Once the 
Paths are converted to URI, this is fairly natural to express. To use crc 
files, your uris will look like:

crc://hdfs:%2f%2fhost1:8020/ which is a crc FileSystem with an underlying file 
system of hdfs://host1:8020

This will allow users to use crc files where they make sense for their 
application/cluster and get rid of the "raw" methods.
