--------------------------------------
Can someone validate that this code works for them?

> People often have input data on S3 that they want to use for a Map Reduce job
> and the current S3FileSystem implementation cannot read it since it assumes a
> block-based format.
> We would add the following metadata to files written by S3FileSystem: an
> indication that it is block oriented ("S3FileSystem.type=block") and a
> filesystem version number ("S3FileSystem.version=1.0"). Regular S3 files
> would not have the type metadata so S3FileSystem would not try to interpret
> them as inodes.
> An extension to write regular files to S3 would not be covered by this change
> - we could do this as a separate piece of work (we still need to decide
> whether to introduce another scheme - e.g. rename block-based S3 to "s3fs"
> and call regular S3 "s3" - or whether to just use a configuration property to
> control block-based vs. regular writes).
