[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-4808) Limit snapshot related methods to DistributedFileSystem

["Aaron T. Myers (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4808?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13652407#comment-13652407 ] 

Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-4808:
--------------------------------------

I don't necessarily think these should be exposed to users via DistributedFileSystem (which is not indended as a public interface) but I do think they shouldn't be included in the intended-to-be-very-general FileSystem class. My preference would be to move them into a public, HDFS-specific interface like HdfsAdmin.

> HDFS-2802 introduces snapshots related methods into FileSystem. This jira is for discussing whether these snapshots related methods are needed in FileSystem or should be limited to only DistributedFileSystem.
