Chris Douglas commented on HDFS-12681:
--------------------------------------

bq. I've been doing some stuff with subclasses of FileStatus recently and it's 
not great for subclassing.
Yes, "not great" is a succinct way to put it. I tend to use more profanity.

While a little unusual, the above seemed like the least-convoluted way to 
support all the constraints on the design without bleeding changes throughout 
HDFS. Again, we could extract an interface from {{FileStatus}}, but the type 
system wouldn't be verifying anything relevant.

[~ste...@apache.org]/[~bharatviswa]/[~arpiagariu]/[~djp]/[~elgoiri], do you 
have cycles to review the patch? This is necessary for HDFS-9806, which we'd 
like to merge in the next couple weeks.

> {{HdfsLocatedFileStatus}} is a subtype of {{HdfsFileStatus}}, but not of 
> {{LocatedFileStatus}}. Conversion requires copying common fields and shedding 
> unknown data. It would be cleaner and sufficient for {{HdfsFileStatus}} to 
> extend {{LocatedFileStatus}}.
