Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-9483:
---------------------------------------
This came from discussion on HADOOP-9043. I'm pasting the relevant comments
from that jira into this one. There are test failures on Windows in
{{TestLocalFSFileContextSymlink}} due to lack of readlink support.
> winutils support fo readlink command
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-9483
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9483
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: util
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Chris Nauroth
>
> The current codebase relies on the Unix readlink command to determine the
> target of a symlink on the local file system. winutils currently does not
> support this functionality on Windows. Adding the command to winutils will
> prevent the need to use GnuWin32 or Cygwin for readlink support.
