org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem Ref

An abstract base class for a fairly generic filesystem. It may be implemented as a distributed filesystem, or as a “local” one that reflects the locally-connected disk. The local version exists for small Hadoop instances and for testing.

All user code that may potentially use the Hadoop Distributed File System should be written to use a FileSystem object or its successor, FileContext.

The local implementation is LocalFileSystem and distributed implementation is DistributedFileSystem. There are other implementations for object stores and (outside the Apache Hadoop codebase), third party filesystems.

The behaviour of the filesystem is specified in the Hadoop documentation. However, the normative specification of the behavior of this class is actually HDFS: if HDFS does not behave the way these Javadocs or the specification in the Hadoop documentations define, assume that the documentation is incorrect.
The term FileSystem refers to an instance of this class.
The acronym “FS” is used as an abbreviation of FileSystem.
The term filesystem refers to the distributed/local filesystem itself, rather than the class used to interact with it.
The term “file” refers to a file in the remote filesystem, rather than instances of java.io.File.
