Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-6796:
-------------------------------------
Sounds like the simple thing to do is have your test:
{code}
s = new FileStatus();
s.setPath("/something");
s.setXXX(...);
{code}
Or use FileStatus#read like the only other user of the default constructor
(ThriftHadoopFileSystem). For the writable use case the reason the default
values are null is that you know you're going to immediately overwrite them via
read() and this way you don't pay the cost of instantiating an object you're
just going to overwrite.
> FileStatus allows null srcPath but crashes if that's done
