Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-13726:
-----------------------------------------

Guava has some caching stuff too; it may be simpler to reuse than than 
repurpose some of our own code

> Enforce that FileSystem initializes only a single instance of the requested 
> FileSystem.

> The {{FileSystem}} cache is intended to guarantee reuse of instances by 
> multiple call sites or multiple threads.  The current implementation does 
> provide this guarantee, but there is a brief race condition window during 
> which multiple threads could perform redundant initialization.  If the file 
> system implementation has expensive initialization logic, then this is 
> wasteful.  This issue proposes to eliminate that race condition and guarantee 
> initialization of only a single instance.
