Binglin Chang commented on HADOOP-9912:
---------------------------------------
I grep all the usage in hadoop code base, here are some listStatus usage we
need to consider:
listStatus is used in
FileSystem.getContentSummary use listStatus to traverse dir, I think it
should not follow symlink
Distcp use listStatus to traverse src dir, should not follow too..
FileUtil.copy copy directory recursively, not sure
When consider semantics and compatibility, these should also be considered.
> globStatus of a symlink to a directory does not report symlink as a directory
