Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-2566:
---------------------------------------

GlobPath is intended to return all pathes that matches the given glob. It is 
not intended to do "'for(path : globPaths(pattern)) { stat = listStatus(path) 
... }'. The feature that you want is listing all the pathes that matches the 
glob.


> need FileSystem#globStatus method

> To remove the cache of FileStatus in DFSPath (HADOOP-2565) without hurting 
> performance, we must use file enumeration APIs that return FileStatus[] 
> rather than Path[].  Currently we have FileSystem#globPaths(), but that 
> method should be deprecated and replaced with a FileSystem#globStatus().
> We need to deprecate FileSystem#globPaths() in 0.16 in order to remove the 
> cache in 0.17.
