FileContext needs a method to test for existence of a file or directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6893 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6893 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: New Feature Components: fs Reporter: Owen O'Malley FileContext is missing a method to ask if a file or directory exists. Currently the only mechanism is to use getFileStatus, which throws an exception if the file doesn't exist, which I don't think is an appropriate use of that method. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
