> Checksumming is currently built into the base FileSystem class.  It should instead be optional, with each FileSystem implementation electing whether to use the Hadoop-provided checksum system, or to disable it, or to implement its own custom checksum system.
> To implement this, a ChecksumFileSystem implementation can be provided that wraps another FileSystem implementation, implementing checksums as in Hadoop's current mandatory implementation (i.e., as a separate crc file per file that's elided from directory listings).  The 'raw' FileSystem methods would be removed.  FSDataInputStream and FSDataOutputStream would be made interfaces.
