Tom White commented on HADOOP-3664:
-----------------------------------
I'm wondering whether we want to remove FileInputFormat#validateInput - is it
needed to do job validation (e.g. HADOOP-1683), or would that be better done
elsewhere?
Also, FileSystem#getFileBlockLocations(Path, long, long) is actually a
convenience method for FileSystem#getFileBlockLocations(FileStatus, long,
long), so there's not much harm in leaving it there. It's used quite widely.
FileSystem implementations only need to implement the latter signature, so it's
not a burden on them.
If we decide not to remove either or both of these methods then we would just
undeprecate them.
