[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-14683) FileStatus.compareTo binary compat issue between 2.7 and 2.8

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14683?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16108221#comment-16108221 ] 

Junping Du commented on HADOOP-14683:
-------------------------------------

bq. Generally yes, but if we use instanceof, we need to throw some Exception explicitly, which is the same as casting without type check. I'll update javadoc to add @throws ClassCastException.
I think add javadoc should be fine given we cast blindly in other places, like: Path, SequenceFile, etc.

02 patch LGTM. I think we should fix in trunk and 3.0-beta also. CC [~andrew.wang].

> See HIVE-17133. Looks like the signature change is causing issues; according to [~jnp] this is a public API.
> Is it possible to add the old overload back (keeping the new one presumably) in a point release on 2.8? That way we can avoid creating yet another shim for this in Hive.
