>
> With the addition of a major new feature to filesystems, the filesystem
> specification in hadoop-common/site is now out of sync.
> This means that
> # there's no strict specification of what it should do
> # you can't derive tests from that specification
> # other people trying to implement the API will have to infer what to do from
> the HDFS source
> # there's no way to decide whether or not the HDFS implementation does what
> it is intended.
> # without matching tests against the raw local FS, differences between the
> HDFS impl and the Posix standard one won't be caught until it is potentially
> too late to fix.
> The operation should be relatively easy to define (after a truncate, the
> files bytes [0...len-1] must equal the original bytes, length(file)==len, etc)
> The truncate tests already written could then be pulled up into contract
> tests which any filesystem implementation can run against.
