Zhe Zhang created HDFS-12379:
--------------------------------

             Summary: NameNode getListing should use FileStatus instead of 
HdfsFileStatus
                 Key: HDFS-12379
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12379
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: namenode
            Reporter: Zhe Zhang


The public {{listStatus}} APIs in {{FileSystem}} and {{DistributedFileSystem}} 
expose {{FileStatus}} instead of {{HdfsFileStatus}}. Therefore it is a waste to 
create the more expensive {{HdfsFileStatus}} objects on NameNode.

It should be a simple change similar to HDFS-11641. Marking incompatible 
because wire protocol is incompatible. Not sure what downstream apps are 
affected by this incompatibility. Maybe those directly using curl, or writing 
their own HDFS client.
