Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-9912:
-------------------------------------
I'm not sure this patch makes sense anymore. It's what originally kickstarted
the symlink discussion before we did a deeper dive.
If globStatus is resolving symlinks along the way, it's never going to see a
link so it doesn't need to know if a link is a link to a directory. Or am I
missing something?
> globStatus of a symlink to a directory does not report symlink as a directory
