Mingliang Liu commented on HADOOP-13321:
----------------------------------------
+1 (non-binding) for the proposal, and the set of the wrapper methods. After
watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-BjP1iQ5lU I believe this is a
necessary long term fix.
> Deprecate FileSystem APIs that promote inefficient call patterns.

>
> {{FileSystem}} contains several methods that act as convenience wrappers over
> calling {{getFileStatus}} and retrieving a single property of the returned
> {{FileStatus}}. These methods have a habit of fostering inefficient call
> patterns in applications, resulting in multiple redundant {{getFileStatus}}
> calls. For HDFS, this translates into wasteful NameNode RPC traffic. For
> file systems backed by cloud object stores, this translates into wasteful
> HTTP traffic. This issue proposes to deprecate these methods and instead
> encourage applications to call {{getFileStatus}} and then reuse the same
> {{FileStatus}} instance as needed.
