exists() calls logs FileNotFoundException in namenode log

                 Key: HADOOP-3239
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3239
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.17.0
            Reporter: lohit vijayarenu


exists() was modified to invoke getFileStatus() internally. But getFileStatus() 
throws FileNotFoundException for files which does not exists and this is logged 
in RPC$Server for each exists() call. One way to get rid of these messages is 
at the Name Node, catch FileNotFoundException and return null. In this case, 
RPC would not log it in namenode log. But at the client end we might have to 
check for null on all calls of getFileStatus(). Other option at client end is 
to construct FileNotFoundException() when getFileInfo() returns null.
