Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2566:
--------------------------------------
Do listStatus(Path[]) and globStatus(Path[]) need to be public? Does anyone
use these but the globbing code? I generally prefer not to make something
public without a strong need. Other than that, this looks good to me.
> need FileSystem#globStatus method

> To remove the cache of FileStatus in DFSPath (HADOOP-2565) without hurting
> performance, we must use file enumeration APIs that return FileStatus[]
> rather than Path[]. Currently we have FileSystem#globPaths(), but that
> method should be deprecated and replaced with a FileSystem#globStatus().
> We need to deprecate FileSystem#globPaths() in 0.16 in order to remove the
> cache in 0.17.
