Description

If a HdfsFileStatus of a file is obtained through FSDirectory.getListing(..) on a directory, then HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName() returns the file name.

However, if a HdfsFileStatus is obtained using FSDirectory.getFileInfo(..) or FSDirectory.getListing(..) by giving a full path of a file, then HdfsFileStatus.getLocalName() returns an empty string.
