Hi Jonathan, For testing you can subclass FileSystemContractBaseTest and create an instance of the filesystem to test in the set up method, to check that the new implementation conforms to the contract of the FileSystem interface (although see also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-303).
See TestHDFSFileSystemContract for an example.
