--------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
As per java.io.File documentation, file.isFile() & file.isDirectory() return
false and file.list() return null for non regular files like pipes.
I this case {{RawLocalFileSystem.listStatus()}} returning null. So, we can
check if the file is of type other and return the status
