/**
 * The FileContext class provides an interface to the application writer for
 * using the Hadoop file system.
 * It provides a set of methods for the usual operation: create, open, 
 * list, etc 
 * 
 * <p>
 * <b> *** Path Names *** </b>
 * <p>
 * 
 * The Hadoop file system supports a URI name space and URI names.
 * It offers a forest of file systems that can be referenced using fully
 * qualified URIs.
 * Two common Hadoop file systems implementations are
 * <ul>
 * <li> the local file system: file:///path
 * <li> the hdfs file system hdfs://nnAddress:nnPort/path
 * </ul>
 * 
 * While URI names are very flexible, it requires knowing the name or address
 * of the server. For convenience one often wants to access the default system
 * in one's environment without knowing its name/address. This has an
 * additional benefit that it allows one to change one's default fs
 *  (e.g. admin moves application from cluster1 to cluster2).
 * <p>
 * 
 * To facilitate this, Hadoop supports a notion of a default file system.
 * The user can set his default file system, although this is
 * typically set up for you in your environment via your default config.
 * A default file system implies a default scheme and authority; slash-relative
 * names (such as /for/bar) are resolved relative to that default FS.
 * Similarly a user can also have working-directory-relative names (i.e. names
 * not starting with a slash). While the working directory is generally in the
 * same default FS, the wd can be in a different FS.
 * <p>
 *  Hence Hadoop path names can be one of:
 *  <ul>
 *  <li> fully qualified URI: scheme://authority/path
 *  <li> slash relative names: /path relative to the default file system
 *  <li> wd-relative names: path  relative to the working dir
 *  </ul>   
 *  Relative paths with scheme (scheme:foo/bar) are illegal.
 *  
 *  <p>
 *  <b>****The Role of the FileContext and configuration defaults****</b>
 *  <p>
 *  The FileContext provides file namespace context for resolving file names;
 *  it also contains the umask for permissions, In that sense it is like the
 *  per-process file-related state in Unix system.
 *  These two properties
 *  <ul> 
 *  <li> default file system i.e your slash)
 *  <li> umask
 *  </ul>
 *  in general, are obtained from the default configuration file
 *  in your environment,  (@see {@link Configuration}).
 *  
 *  No other configuration parameters are obtained from the default config as 
 *  far as the file context layer is concerned. All file system instances
 *  (i.e. deployments of file systems) have default properties; we call these
 *  server side (SS) defaults. Operation like create allow one to select many 
 *  properties: either pass them in as explicit parameters or use
 *  the SS properties.
 *  <p>
 *  The file system related SS defaults are
 *  <ul>
 *  <li> the home directory (default is "/user/userName")
 *  <li> the initial wd (only for local fs)
 *  <li> replication factor
 *  <li> block size
 *  <li> buffer size
 *  <li> bytesPerChecksum (if used).
 *  </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * <b> *** Usage Model for the FileContext class *** </b>
 * <p>
 * Example 1: use the default config read from the $HADOOP_CONFIG/core.xml.
 *   Unspecified values come from core-defaults.xml in the release jar.
 *  <ul>  
 *  <li> myFContext = FileContext.getFileContext(); // uses the default config
 *                                                // which has your default FS 
 *  <li>  myFContext.create(path, ...);
 *  <li>  myFContext.setWorkingDir(path)
 *  <li>  myFContext.open (path, ...);  
 *  </ul>  
 * Example 2: Get a FileContext with a specific URI as the default FS
 *  <ul>  
 *  <li> myFContext = FileContext.getFileContext(URI)
 *  <li> myFContext.create(path, ...);
 *   ...
 * </ul> 
 * Example 3: FileContext with local file system as the default
 *  <ul> 
 *  <li> myFContext = FileContext.getLocalFSFileContext()
 *  <li> myFContext.create(path, ...);
 *  <li> ...
 *  </ul> 
 * Example 4: Use a specific config, ignoring $HADOOP_CONFIG
 *  Generally you should not need use a config unless you are doing
 *   <ul> 
 *   <li> configX = someConfigSomeOnePassedToYou.
 *   <li> myFContext = getFileContext(configX); // configX is not changed,
 *                                              // is passed down 
 *   <li> myFContext.create(path, ...);
 *   <li>...
 *  </ul>                                          
 *

   * - rename(src, dst) - If src refers to a symlink, the symlink is 
   *   renamed. If dst refers to a symlink, the symlink is over-written.
   * - getLinkTarget(f) - Returns the target of the symlink. 
   * - getFileLinkStatus(f) - Returns a FileStatus object describing

   * Given a path referring to a symlink of form:
   * 
   *   <---X---> 
   *   fs://host/A/B/link 
   *   <-----Y----->
   * 
   * In this path X is the scheme and authority that identify the file system,
   * and Y is the path leading up to the final path component "link". If Y is
   * a symlink  itself then let Y' be the target of Y and X' be the scheme and
   * authority of Y'. Symlink targets may:
   * 
   * 1. Fully qualified URIs
   * 
   * fs://hostX/A/B/file  Resolved according to the target file system.
   * 
   * 2. Partially qualified URIs (eg scheme but no host)
   * 
   * fs:///A/B/file  Resolved according to the target file sytem. Eg resolving
   *                 a symlink to hdfs:///A results in an exception because
