Hi Chris - would you consider replacing the if clause with
{{assumeTrue(Shell.WINDOWS)}} instead? I am fixing the remaining instances
TestWinUtils.java with HADOOP-9483. If your patch gets in first I can fix it as
I will have to rebase.
+1 otherwise.

> In general, the winutils symlink command rejects attempts to create symlinks
> targeting a destination file that does not exist. However, if given a
> symlink destination with forward slashes pointing at a file that does exist,
> then it creates the symlink with the forward slashes, and then attempts to
> open the file through the symlink will fail.
