Description

hadoop.fs.Stat class only support Linux and FreeBSD because it uses the command 'stat' which is not readily available on Windows. This does not breaking any functionality at the moment because we will fall back to the deprecatedGetFileStatus() method when the former is not available. We should be able to provide a stat command in 'winutils' to make Stat support Windows.

The unit test TestStat also fails on Windows due to this issue.
