Steve Loughran created HADOOP-9371: -------------------------------------- Summary: Define Semantics of FileSystem and FileContext more rigorously Key: HADOOP-9371 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9371 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Sub-task Components: fs Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 3.0.0 Reporter: Steve Loughran Assignee: Steve Loughran
The semantics of {{FileSystem}} and {{FileContext}} are not completely defined in terms of # core expectations of a filesystem # consistency requirements. # concurrency requirements. # minimum scale limits Furthermore, methods are not defined strictly enough in terms of their outcomes and failure modes. The requirements and method semantics should be defined more strictly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
