Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-6585:
---------------------------------------

Wow, Eli, you made a lot of tedious/subtle changes.. Good work!

I agree that we should not change the definition of the deprecated method 
isDir. Here are a couple of initial comments. I might post more when I get more 
time to review carefully.
FileSystem.java: 
1. should change the message of the exception ParentNotDirectoryException;
2. should update the comment in getContentSummary: // f is a file --> // f is a 
file or symlink
RawLocalFileSystem.java:
should we change the check getFileStatus(f).isDir() to be 
!getFileStatus(f).isFile()?

> Add FileStatus#isDirectory and isFile

> Per Sanjay's suggestion in HADOOP-6421 let's deprecate FileStatus#isDir() and 
> add isDirectory() and isFile() to compliment isSymlink. Currently clients 
> assume !isDir() implies a file, which is no longer true with symlinks. I'll 
> file a separate jira to change the various uses of !isDir() to be isFile() or 
> isFile() or isSymlink() as appropriate.
