Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-7973:
-------------------------------------
bq. #3 is a more comprehensive solution since a decision was made on an earlier
jira to not add reference
Daryn, which jira are you referring to here? I and Jitendra were discussing
about Reference Counting and it seemed to work for this use-case.. Suresh had
argued against reference-counting, but that argument holds even if the cache is
disabled...

> The way {{FileSystem#close}} works is very problematic. Since the
> {{FileSystems}} are cached, any {{close}} by any caller will cause problems
> for every other reference to it. Will add more detail in the comments.
