Chris Nauroth updated HADOOP-9984:
----------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-9984.015.patch
Here is patch #15 adding a change to {{ViewFileSystem}} so that it delegates to
the correct underlying file system for {{listLinkStatus}}.
Reminder: I have only touched the {{FileSystem}} hierarchy in my patches, not
{{AbstractFileSystem}}. That means that if you've already reviewed Colin's
patch #12, then you don't need to re-review the {{AbstractFileSystem}}
hierarchy in this version.
> FileSystem#globStatus and FileSystem#listStatus should resolve symlinks by
> default

> 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.
