Hi Karthik, FileSystem will cache the objects. Based on schema and url info it will form the key and get the fs from cache.
you can close the fs only after completed your operations with filesystem object. Even if you call two times FileSystem.get(conf), it will return same object. So, you cant close like that. (or) initialize their own DistributedFileSystems separately and use. (or) use FileSystem.newInstance(conf..)
