Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-6900:
---------------------------------------

> I don't understand the compatibility argument since this is new API.

Even though this is a new API, but mapreduce already has some logic in their 
code traversing the input directories and getting file status/block locations. 
Existing code does not allow any concurrent modification to input directories.

I agree that allowing concurrent modification could be an option, but lets do 
it in a different jira.

> FileSystem#listLocatedStatus should not throw generic RuntimeException to 
> indicate error conditions

> HDFS-6870 introduced FileSystem#listLocatedStatus(), that returns an Iterator 
> to iterate through LocatedFileStatus for files under a directory or 
> recursively under a sub-directory. Iterator currently throws generic 
> RuntimeException to indicate error conditions. API needs to be changed to 
> throw appropriate exceptions to indicate error conditions.
