> I don't think we need this method because the TarFile#getInputStream only takes an instance of TarArchiveEntry. +1. The `canReadEntryData` in `TarArchiveInputStream` was checking if the entry is a sparse entry or not - cause the sparse entries were not supported. The sparse entry was supported later but we could not remove the `canReadEntryData` because it's a API breaking change. I don't think we need it in `TarFile` any more. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
