Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9693:
----------------------------------------
Jayesh -where is it? I don't see it in trunk or 206-alpha
[[https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/branch-2.0.6-alpha/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/util/Shell.java]]
I see some check in {{org.apache.hadoop.fs.HardLink}}, which is something that
should be moved to Shell, and as you say, moved to "OS X"
> Shell should add a probe for OSX

> the {{Shell}} class looks for Windows and Linux and sets static fields to
> show this. For tests, it's sometimes useful to know if a host is OS/X, as its
> filesystem is different. Although this is easy to test in code
> [https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#technotes/tn2002/tn2110.html],
> having this in one place makes it easier to maintain if future java versions
> ever behave differently
