--------------------------------

             Summary: ViewFileSystem.close doesn't close child filesystems and 
causes FileSystem objects leak.
                 Key: HADOOP-15565
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15565
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jinglun


When we create a ViewFileSystem, all it's child filesystems will be cached by 
FileSystem.CACHE. Unless we close these child filesystems, they will stay in 
FileSystem.CACHE forever.
I think we should let FileSystem.CACHE cache ViewFileSystem only, and let 
ViewFileSystem cache all it's child filesystems. So we can close ViewFileSystem 
without leak and won't affect other ViewFileSystems.
I find this problem because i need to re-login my kerberos and renew 
ViewFileSystem periodically. Because FileSystem.CACHE.Key is based on 
UserGroupInformation, which changes everytime i re-login, I can't use the 
cached child filesystems when i new a ViewFileSystem. And because 
ViewFileSystem.close does nothing but remove itself from cache, i leak all it's 
child filesystems in cache.
