   Here is a draft patch to see how the yetus report for this change. I ran 
locally some tests, most of them passed. Since it's in HADOOP, I don't think 
HDFS tests will run. I ran few tests, most of them passed.
   
   I have question on following assert:
   In FileStatus.java:
      ```
    // The variables isdir and symlink indicate the type:
       // 1. isdir implies directory, in which case symlink must be null.
       // 2. !isdir implies a file or symlink, symlink != null implies a
       //    symlink, otherwise it's a file.
       assert (isdir && symlink == null) || !isdir;
   ```
   This assert is telling that, if it's a dir, symlink should be null or it can 
be a just file. This means, if it's a symlink, it can be only file.
   
   I have tested in my macos about this semantics locally :
   
   ```
   I have create symLink with srcLink --> target
   lrwxr-xr-x   1 umagangumalla  staff     6 Jun  6 15:54 srcLink -> target
   
     //Like getFileStatus
   System.out.println("===== Like getFileStatus ========");
   
System.out.println("path:"+java.nio.file.Paths.get("/Users/umagangumalla/Work/repos/PRs/srcLink"));
   
System.out.println("isDir:"+Files.isDirectory(java.nio.file.Paths.get("/Users/umagangumalla/Work/repos/PRs/srcLink")));
 
System.out.println("isSymlink:"+Files.isSymbolicLink(java.nio.file.Paths.get("/Users/umagangumalla/Work/repos/PRs/srcLink")
 ));
   ```
   
   The output was:
   ===== Like getFileStatus ========
   path:/Users/umagangumalla/Work/repos/PRs/srcLink
   isDir:true
   isSymlink:true
   
   This says, isDir and isSymlink can be true. This patch supports this 
behavior. So, I am not very sure on that assert, why that was added. I have 
removed it to support this case now, otherwise, that assert will make flow fail 
in dev envs. If someone knows about it, please comment. Thanks
