> HADOOP-6421 added symbolic links to FileContext. Resolving symlinks is done
> on the client-side, and therefore requires client support. An HDFS symlink
> (created by FileContext) when accessed by FileSystem will result in an
> unhandled UnresolvedLinkException. Because not all users will migrate from
> FileSystem to FileContext in lock step, and we want users of FileSystem to be
> able to access all paths created by FileContext, we need to support symlink
> resolution in FileSystem as well, to facilitate migration to FileContext.
