Alejandro Abdelnur reopened HDFS-2316:
--------------------------------------
we are using an enum {FILE, DIRECTORY, SYMLINK} for the FileStatus, but the
constructor of FileStatus, for symlinks, takes a isDir boolean.
This means we are losing the isFile/isDir information in the case of symlinks
but it seems that the HDFS implementation keeps that.
If this is the case, we should add that info either as a new enum set or
instead using enum using 2 booleans.

> We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP. However, hftp is a
> read-only FileSystem and does not provide "write" accesses.
> In HDFS-2284, we propose to have webhdfs for providing a complete FileSystem
> implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP. The is the umbrella JIRA for
