Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-10034:
-----------------------------------------------
bq. Won't doing this preclude us ever adding real relative paths into HDFS?
i.e., supporting ..
I assume you mean symlinks to "{{..}}". We do have those already-- hence the
discussion about making the client's mount table accessible to the server.
Tangent: I have to admit, I'm a little confused by the idea of relative
symlinks that include a scheme other than null. Are we going to allow those,
and if so, what should the behavior be?
> optimize same-filesystem symlinks by doing resolution server-side
