[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-9361) Strictly define the expected behavior of filesystem APIs and write tests to verify compliance

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9361?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14012299#comment-14012299 ] 

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9361:
----------------------------------------

checking for null in S3 stream close is consistent with tightening up of other streams & makes close() more robust

> {{FileSystem}} and {{FileContract}} aren't tested rigorously enough -while HDFS gets tested downstream, other filesystems, such as blobstore bindings, don't.
> The only tests that are common are those of {{FileSystemContractTestBase}}, which HADOOP-9258 shows is incomplete.
> I propose 
> # writing more tests which clarify expected behavior
> # testing operations in the interface being in their own JUnit4 test classes, instead of one big test suite. 
> # Having each FS declare via a properties file what behaviors they offer, such as atomic-rename, atomic-delete, umask, immediate-consistency -test methods can downgrade to skipped test cases if a feature is missing.
