Assert type constraints in the FileStatus constructor -----------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7032 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7032 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: fs Reporter: Eli Collins Assignee: Eli Collins Fix For: 0.22.0 A FileStatus may represent a file, directory or symlink. This is indicated using the isdir and symlink members, let's add an assert that validates the contstraints on these members (eg a directory may not have the symlink member set). We could also verify this by having more than one constructor but we don't statically know the type of the file status when we create it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
