Jakob Homan updated MAPREDUCE-895:
----------------------------------

    Release Note: The semantics for dealing with non-existent paths passed to 
FileSystem::listStatus() were updated and solidified in HADOOP-6201 and 
HDFS-538.  Existing code within MapReduce that relied on the previous behavior 
of some FileSystem implementations of returning null has been updated to catch 
or propagate a FileNotFoundException, per the method's contract.

Adding release note.

> FileSystem::ListStatus will now throw FileNotFoundException, MapRed needs 
> updated

>
> HADOOP-6201 (and HDFS-538) determined the semantics of FileSystem::ListStatus 
> is not correct and that the actual file system class vary in their 
> implemenations, with some throwing an exception and some returning null.  
> Fixing this will require adjusting code that calls this method.
