Description

The openFile() builder API lets us add new options when reading a file

Add an option "fs.s3a.open.option.length" which takes a long and allows the length of the file to be declared. If set, no check for the existence of the file is issued when opening the file

Also: withFileStatus() to take any FileStatus implementation, rather than only S3AFileStatus -and not check that the path matches the path being opened. Needed to support viewFS-style wrapping and mounting.

and Adopt where appropriate to stop clusters with S3A reads switched to random IO from killing download/localization

• fs shell copyToLocal
• distcp
• IOUtils.copy

this patch MUST be followed by HADOOP-18410
