> In Hadoop 3, make FileStatus no longer a Writable
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-6984
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6984

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe

>
> FileStatus was a Writable in Hadoop 2 and earlier. Originally, we used this
> to serialize it and send it over the wire. But in Hadoop 2 and later, we
> have the protobuf {{HdfsFileStatusProto}} which serves to serialize this
> information. The protobuf form is preferable, since it allows us to add new
> fields in a backwards-compatible way. Another issue is that already a lot of
> subclasses of FileStatus don't override the Writable methods of the
> superclass, breaking the interface contract that read(status.write) should be
> equal to the original status.
> In Hadoop 3, we should just make FileStatus no longer a writable so that we
> don't have to deal with these issues. It's probably too late to do this in
> Hadoop 2, since user code may be relying on the ability to use the Writable
> methods on FileStatus objects there.
