    Description

      Discussion around SPARK-22587 highlights how per-fs notions of a canonical URI make it hard to determine if a file is on a specific filesystem, or, put differently, if two filesystems are equivalent.

      You can't reliably use this.getUri == that.getUri as it doesn't handle FQDN == unqualified DN, bit you can't do nslookup as HDFS HA doesn't use hosnames.

      If FileSystem.getCanonicalUri() were public, then this could be used to compare things consistently.

      needs: filesystem.md coverage; contract test (two filesystem instances are equal, different filesystems aren't). Or at least: this method never returns null.
