Hairong Kuang updated HADOOP-6569:
----------------------------------
Attachment: optimizeCat-yahoo1.patch
The change made to FsShell#cat makes the output of cat different when the src
does not exist or is a directory. This patch made changes to testCLI
configuration file to accommodate this output change.
> FsShell#cat should avoid calling unecessary getFileStatus before opening a
> file to read

> Since FileSystem#open throws a FileNotFoundException when the file to be read
> does not exist, there is no need to check if the file is a directory or not
> before open. In case of HDFS, this could reduce one getFileInfo RPC to
> NameNode.
