Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-3620:
----------------------------------------------
I disagree that WebHdfsFileSystem should make a HTTP call since it is
unnecessary. It is supposed to talk to HDFS and the home directory returned is
correct. If it makes a HTTP call, it will slow down the performance.
> WebHdfsFileSystem getHomeDirectory() should not resolve locally

> WebHdfsFileSystem getHomeDirectory() method it is hardcoded to return
