Binglin Chang commented on HADOOP-9912:
---------------------------------------
bq. Jason makes an excellent point about how the crux of the problem is
listStatus combines both readdir + stat
In this case, we really should follow linux/bsd practice(which can prevent most
problematic behavior), implement a readdir primitive in FS, make listStatus
none primitive and implement listStatus on top of it, currently there is no
readdir primitive and listStatus is considered and used as readdir cause it is
the only option.
