Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-2566:
---------------------------------------
> If the distinction is important then perhaps the non-existing file case
> should return null, while the non-matching expression case should return an
> empty array.
Just saw this. Sounds good. I will make changes to globStatus reflecting this.
> 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.
