Leif Wickland updated HDFS-5387:
--------------------------------
Attachment: FileSystem.java.patch
Here's my suggested change to the document's wording.
> Documentation on FileSystem.createNewFile() is misleading
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-5387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5387
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Leif Wickland
> Priority: Trivial
> Attachments: FileSystem.java.patch
>
>
> The documentation for FileSystem.createNewFile() indicates that it will
> return false if it failed to create the requested file. In fact, it will
> only return false if the file existed before the function was called. Also
> the function fails to mention that a race condition can result in an
> exception be thrown if another process attempts to create the file at the
> same time.
