Íñigo Goiri commented on HADOOP-15465:
--------------------------------------

I think  [^HADOOP-15465.v0.patch] is the right way to do the symlink approach.
My concerns are:
* How to deprecate the winutil.exe part.
* Add a unit test for this (both Windows and Linux).

> Use native java code for symlinks

> Hadoop uses the shell to create symbolic links. Now that Hadoop relies on 
> Java 7+, we can deprecate all the shell code and rely on the Java APIs.
