>             Project: Hadoop Core
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: fs
>            Reporter: Owen O'Malley
>             Fix For: 0.17.0
>
>
> The FileSystem interface should provide location information with byte ranges 
> rather than a String[][] of locations. I suggest that we deprecate 
> FileSystem.getFileCacheHints and replace it with:
> {code}
> abstract public class FileSystem {
>    ...
>    public static class BlockInformation implements Writable {
>       public BlockInformation(long start, String[] locations) {...}
>       public String[] getHosts() {...}
>       public long getStartingOffset() {...}
>    }
>    BlockInformation[] getFileLocations(Path f, long start, long length) { ... 
> }
> }
> {code}
> This will allow us to fix the FileInputFormat in map/reduce to make just one 
> call per a file to the name node instead of one per a block.
