Description

FSNamesystem.setTimes(..) does not work if the path is a directory.

Arpit found this bug when testing webhdfs:

settimes api is working when called on a file, but when called on a dir it returns a 404. I should be able to set time on both a file and a directory.

Issue Links

• is duplicated by: HDFS-952 FSNamesystem.setTimes fails on directory
• is related to: HDFS-2440 webhdfs open a file and send 0 or invalid bufferSize,length, offest throws a 500, we should throw a 400
• relates to: HDFS-2509 FileSystem#getFileChecksum will throw NullPointerException on non existing directories/files.
• relates to: HDFS-2712 setTimes should support only for files and move the atime field down to iNodeFile.
