@Public @Stable public abstract class AbstractFileSystem extends Object implements PathCapabilities
This class provides an interface for implementors of a Hadoop file system (analogous to the VFS of Unix). Applications do not access this class; instead they access files across all file systems using FileContext. Pathnames passed to AbstractFileSystem can be fully qualified URI that matches the "this" file system (ie same scheme and authority) or a Slash-relative name that is assumed to be relative to the root of the "this" file system .
