[jira] Updated: (MAPREDUCE-895) FileSystem::ListStatus will now throw FileNotFoundException, MapRed needs updated

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-895?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jakob Homan updated MAPREDUCE-895:
----------------------------------

    Release Note: The semantics for dealing with non-existent paths passed to FileSystem::listStatus() were updated and solidified in HADOOP-6201 and HDFS-538.  Existing code within MapReduce that relied on the previous behavior of some FileSystem implementations of returning null has been updated to catch or propagate a FileNotFoundException, per the method's contract.

Adding release note.

> HADOOP-6201 (and HDFS-538) determined the semantics of FileSystem::ListStatus is not correct and that the actual file system class vary in their implemenations, with some throwing an exception and some returning null.  Fixing this will require adjusting code that calls this method.
