Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-7549:
---------------------------------------
I think we need to move this direction. The cases where we have multiple file
systems with the same "protocol" are very problematic, especially as we move to
the FileContext API.
We should probably rename:
file -> raw local
checksum -> local
are there any other overlapping pairs?

>
> Currently configuring FileSystem implementations must be done by declaring
> the FileSystem class in the Hadoop configuration files (core-default.xml,
> ...).
> Using JDK ServiceLoader mechanism this configuration step can be avoided.
> Adding the JAR file with the additional FileSystem implementation would
> suffice.
> This is similar to what is being proposed for compression codecs
> (HADOOP-7350).
