Colin Patrick McCabe created HADOOP-9984:
--------------------------------------------
Summary: FileSystem#globStatus and FileSystem#listStatus should
resolve symlinks by default
Key: HADOOP-9984
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9984
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta
Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
During the process of adding symlink support to FileSystem, we realized that
many existing HDFS clients would be broken by listStatus and globStatus
returning symlinks. One example is applications that assume that
!FileStatus#isFile implies that the inode is a directory. As we discussed in
HADOOP-9972 and HADOOP-9912, we should default these APIs to returning resolved
paths.
