Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-6556:
-----------------------------------------

Additional changes needed to FileContext methods:
* isFile, isDir - should it throw notFoundException or return false if the path 
does not exist?
* deleteOnExit should return void instead of boolean.


> FileContext methods delete and copy should not return boolean

> FileContext#delete and FileContext#copy should return void instead of 
> boolean. On failure an appropriate exception should be thrown that details 
> the failure instead of returning false. There could be other methods in 
> FileContext too that need similar changes.
