Add FileStatus#isDirectory and isFile
-------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6585
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6585
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: fs
Affects Versions: 0.22.0
Reporter: Eli Collins
Assignee: Eli Collins
Fix For: 0.22.0
Per Sanjay's suggestion in HADOOP-6421 let's deprecate FileStatus#isDir() and
add isDirectory() and isFile() to compliment isSymlink. Currently clients
assume !isDir() implies a file, which is no longer true with symlinks. I'll
file a separate jira to change the various uses of !isDir() to be isFile() or
isFile() or isSymlink() as appropriate.
