Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-9912:
---------------------------------------
Thanks [~cmccabe].
How about breaking HADOOP-9972 into two independent pieces:
# Fix globStatus/listStatus to resolve and throw an exception when it can't.
# Add new apis being discussed in HADOOP-9972.
This way #1 can be expedited and we can unblock hadoop-2.2 (GA). #2 can come in
hadoop-2.3. In hadoop-2.2 we can put appropriate notices that symlinks aren't
yet ready for primetime.
Thoughts?
