----------------------------------
Summary: FileSystem#length returns zero for symlinks on
windows+java6
Key: HADOOP-8872
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8872
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1-win
Reporter: Ivan Mitic
Assignee: Ivan Mitic
RawLocalFileSystem does not work well with symbolic links on Windows.
Specifically, calling FileSystem#lengh on the path that is a symlink will
return zero. This causes problems in some objects that use LocalFileSystem to
access local files. One example is a SequenceFile.
The issue is caused by Java6 File#length returning zero for symbolic links on
Windows. On Java7, we will no longer have this problem.
