Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-2566:
---------------------------------------
I do not see why we need globStatus. GlobPath is essentially pattern matching. If the provided path does not contain any pattern, the given path is returned without talking to the namenode.
> need FileSystem#globStatus method

> URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2566> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: fs
> Reporter: Doug Cutting
> Assignee: Hairong Kuang
> Fix For: 0.16.0
>
>
> To remove the cache of FileStatus in DFSPath (HADOOP-2565) without hurting performance, we must use file enumeration APIs that return FileStatus[] rather than Path[]. Currently we have FileSystem#globPaths(), but that method should be deprecated and replaced with a FileSystem#globStatus().
> We need to deprecate FileSystem#globPaths() in 0.16 in order to remove the cache in 0.17.
