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 > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6585 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6585 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Eli Collins > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > > Attachments: hadoop-6585-1.patch, hadoop-6585-2.patch, > hadoop-6585-3.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
