Description

This is a spin-off from some discussion on HADOOP-13736. There's an assertion and type-cast that often causes a large number of test failures (this can be seen at HADOOP-14041). It appears to be unnecessary - things work really well by just removing that, and unless there's a good reason or test of something S3-specific, we should handle FileStatus in metadata anyway.
