Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HADOOP-16277:
------------------------------------------
Let's step back a little: what's the purpose of knowing the file system for?
why do you think getTokenKind() is a good representation of file system?
> Expose getTokenKind method in FileSystem

> Key: HADOOP-16277
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16277
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Venkatesh Sridharan
> Priority: Trivial
>
> It would be nice to have a getTokenKind() method exposed in
> [FileSystem|[https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/trunk/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.java]]
> . Currently WebHdfsFileSystem class has getTokenKind() which is protected.
> Having it in FileSystem makes it easier to use at runtime when the consumer
> doesn't know what the underlying FileSystem implementation is.
