Pete Wyckoff commented on HADOOP-3264:
--------------------------------------
I like the latter methods as the APIs are better defined and called out, but I
think the former single method is more in the spirit of hadoop and having a
smaller #of apis but with params that can be extended.
But, I do think the latter 4 methods are a better defined API. What happens
when the pathinfo struct changes and old code doesn't know to set some needed
field but still compiles against a newer version that's expecting that field.
Unless the new code takes are to check the hdfsFileInfo structure is properly
set, things could go haywire. e.g., adding last accessed int which is not set
could result in last accessed being set to 1970.
