Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-6378:
-------------------------------------
I think we should do option (a) plus log a warning, I don't see why users would
want us to fake up a FileStatus representing the link unless they could
explicitly ask about the link itself (which they can't because FileContext
doesn't have an lstat equivalent).
fwiw in the symlink patch getFileStatus on a dangling link yields a FNF
exception (to maintain compatibility) while _getFileLinkStatus_ yields a
FileStatus representing the dangling link (see testDanglingLink in
TestLocalFsLink.java for the particular FileStatus field values).
> Broken symlinks in directory break RawLocalFileSystem.listStatus
