    Description

      File.delete() returns boolean to indicate success or failure.

      As a follow-up of HDFS-6499, filing this jira to provide a native API to delete file, like the renameTo method in NativeIO. So caller can tell better what's the reason of failure.

      And fix FileJournalManager etc places for better error reporting.

      Thanks atm for reviewing the fix of HDFS-6499 and pointing out this issue.
