If a {{HdfsFileStatus}} is obtained through {{DFSClient.listPaths(..)}}, then {{HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName()}} returns the file name.

However, if a {{HdfsFileStatus}} is obtained using {{DFSClient.getFileInfo(..)}}, then {{HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName()}} returns an empty string.

    Attachment: TestHdfsFileStatus.java

TestHdfsFileStatus.java shows the bug.

In particular, the following test log shows the inconsistency.

Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE updated HDFS-1743:
-----------------------------------------

    Description: 
If a {{HdfsFileStatus}} of a file is obtained through {{FSDirectory.getListing(..)}} on a directory, then {{HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName()}} returns the file name.

However, if a {{HdfsFileStatus}} is obtained using {{FSDirectory.getFileInfo(..)}} or {{FSDirectory.getListing(..)}} by giving a full path of a file, then {{HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName()}} returns an empty string.

  was:
If a {{HdfsFileStatus}} is obtained through {{DFSClient.listPaths(..)}}, then {{HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName()}} returns the file name.

However, if a {{HdfsFileStatus}} is obtained using {{DFSClient.getFileInfo(..)}}, then {{HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName()}} returns an empty string.


(Revised the description.)

I think we should just remove {{HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName()}} since there is no easy way to use it correctly.  See also HDFS-1750.
