Colin Patrick McCabe updated HADOOP-9780:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Filesystem and FileContext methods that follow symlinks should
return unresolved paths (was: Consider providing original symlink path in
getFileLinkStatus rather than resolved path)

> Key: HADOOP-9780
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9780
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
> Priority: Minor
>
> We should consider providing the original symlink path in getFileLinkStatus
> rather than the resolved path. Users who want the resolved path can use
> {{FileSystem#resolvePath}} to get that; users who just want information about
> the symlink itself (probably most users) don't have to pay the cost of
> resolution.
