Tom White updated HADOOP-958:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: fs-unchecked.patch

Here's a patch for fixing the unchecked warnings in the fs package.

On a process point, if a series of patches like this one are committed, is it 
OK to do them all under one Jira issue? Is a special commit message needed?

> Building Hadoop results in a lot of warnings

> We are getting hundreds of warnings right now.  Most of these are a result of 
> our transition to 1.5 and deprecated uses of generics.  We should still fix 
> these, since producing lots of warnings:
> A) Leads to the perception that our code is of low quality
> B) Can mask warnings that come from real issues.
> ---
> I suggest we do two things
> 1) Submit a patch or set of patches to clean this up
> 2) Change our patch tester to validate that the number of warnings per build 
> did not go up with this patch
