Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-9912:
----------------------------------------------
Sure. We can change the default behavior in a separate JIRA. I filed
HADOOP-9984 to change the default behavior of FileSystem#globStatus and
FileSystem#listStatus to be resolving symlinks.
bq. Plus multiple exceptions are now erroneously being reported as FNF, etc.
Ex. I know of at least AccessControlException (I think Colin fixed?) and
StandbyException but I think we encountered more.
This was already fixed in HADOOP-9929.
bq. The new implementation is causing increased RPC load by listing parent
directories when no patterns are present in the component.
We're discussing this (plus a fix) on HADOOP-9981.
