[jira] [Resolved] (HADOOP-6893) FileContext needs a method to test for existence of a file or directory.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6893?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andras Bokor resolved HADOOP-6893.
----------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

I read through HADOOP-6678.
It seems there was a consensus in community that check existence of a file or directory is preferred through filestatus which is make sense.
This did not change in the last 7 years.

> FileContext is missing a method to ask if a file or directory exists. Currently the only mechanism is to use getFileStatus, which throws an exception if the file doesn't exist, which I don't think is an appropriate use of that method.
