Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HADOOP-13715:
------------------------------------------
To follow up -- it looks like we would want FileStatus to be extensible, to
accommodate new flags proposed by [~drankye] and [~rakesh_r]. I am +1 for
[~steve_l]'s proposal to add a bitfield (or EnumSet?) so that we do not need to
worry about breaking API compatibility in the near future.
> Add isErasureCoded() API to FileStatus class

> I would like to add a new API {{isErasureCoded()}} to {{FileStatus}} so that
> tools and downstream applications can tell if it needs to treat a file
> differently.
> Hadoop tools that can benefit from this effort include: distcp and
> teragen/terasort.
> Downstream applications such as flume or hbase may also benefit from it.
