-----------------------------------

             Summary: FileSystems should describe their kind and consistency level
                 Key: FLINK-7265
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7265
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.3.1
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Assignee: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.4.0, 1.3.2


Currently, all {{FileSystem}} types look the same to Flink.

However, certain operations should only be executed on certain kinds of file systems.

For example, it makes no sense to attempt to delete an empty parent directory on S3, because there are no such thinks as directories, only hierarchical naming in the keys (file names).
