Andras Bokor resolved HADOOP-6893.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
I read through HADOOP-6678.
It seems there was a consensus in community that check existence of a file or
directory is preferred through filestatus which is make sense.
This did not change in the last 7 years.
> FileContext needs a method to test for existence of a file or directory.

> FileContext is missing a method to ask if a file or directory exists.
> Currently the only mechanism is to use getFileStatus, which throws an
> exception if the file doesn't exist, which I don't think is an appropriate
> use of that method.
