Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-9912:
-------------------------------------
To further clarify, the resolved link status would still have the isLink bit
set in additional to the bit for whatever it resolved to. This would allow
FsShell's ls to check isLink, and issue getFileLinkStatus if necessary. It's a
smaller evil than inconveniencing all user code.
