Aaron Fabbri commented on HADOOP-13736:
---------------------------------------
Why not cast as needed and keep it the base type?
The ADLS folks indicated they were interested in using MetadataStore, but this
change would break that.
In LocalMetadataStore, I have a single special case for s3a due to the
isEmptyDirectory flag in S3AFileStatus. I have a flag {{isS3A}} in the
LocalMetadataStore and I cast as needed when it is true.
> Change PathMetadata to hold S3AFileStatus instead of FileStatus.

> {{S3AFileStatus}} is implemented differently with {{FileStatus}}, for
> instance {{S3AFileStatus#isEmptyDirectory()}} is not implemented in
> {{FileStatus()}}. And {{access_time}}, {{block_replication}}, {{owner}},
> {{group}} and a few other fields are not meaningful in {{S3AFileStatus}}.
> So in the scope of {{S3guard}}, it should use {{S3AFileStatus}} in instead
> of {{FileStatus}} in {{PathMetadaa}} to avoid casting the types back and
> forth in S3A.
