Hi it appears that:

http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileStatus.html

getPath()

has no defined contract.

Why does FileStatus have a "getPAth" method?  Would it be the equivalent
effect to
simply make a path qualified using the FileSystem object?

i.e. path.makeQualified(FileSystem.get()) ?
