Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6870:
--------------------------------------

Errors in iteration should turn into a subclass of RuntimeException, not silently fail, no?

Also, it looks to me that recursive file listings across symlinks don't work.  Instinctively, it seems to me they should.

> This jira implements the new FileSystem API as proposed in HDFS-202. The new API aims to eliminate individual "getFileBlockLocations" calls to NN for each file in the input directory of a job. Instead, a file's block locations are returned together with FileStatus when listing a directory, thus improving getSplits performance.
