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 > --------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2566 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2566 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Assignee: Hairong Kuang > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
