[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-9371) Define Semantics of FileSystem and FileContext more rigorously

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.
