Andras Bokor resolved HADOOP-8195.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Branch-1 is EoL.
> Backport FileContext to branch-1
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-8195
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8195
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: fs
> Reporter: Eli Collins
>
> It's hard to get users to migrate to FileContext because they (rightly!) want
> their software to work against Hadoop 1.x which only has FileSystem.
> Backporting FileContext to branch-1 would allow people to migrate to
> FileContext and still work against both Hadoop 1.x and 2.x (or whatever we
> call it). It probably isn't that much work since FileContext is mostly net
> new code with lots of tests. It's a pain to support the same code in two
> places, but we already have to do that with FileSystem, and that's the cost
> of introducing a new API instead of improving FileSystem in place.
