Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8761:
-------------------------------------

True, it's incompatible yet correct behavior.  I guess our options are codify the bad behavior forever, or fix it now.  I lean toward the latter since there's enough churn in 2.x that this will be a minor inconvenience for people to adjust.  What do the other watchers/lurkers think?

> Trivial patch attached corrects the usage information.  Stat.java calls FileStatus.getLen(), which is most definitely the file size in bytes.
