Jason Lowe updated HADOOP-10276:
--------------------------------
Summary: RawLocalFs#getFileLinkStatus does not fill in the link owner and
mode by default (was: RawLocalFs#getFileLinkStatus does not fill in the link
owner and mode)
> RawLocalFs#getFileLinkStatus does not fill in the link owner and mode by
> default
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-10276
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10276
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
>
> {{RawLocalFs#getFileLinkStatus}} does not actually get the owner and mode of
> the symlink, but instead uses the owner and mode of the symlink target. If
> the target can't be found, it fills in bogus values (the empty string and
> FsPermission.getDefault) for these.
> Symlinks have an owner distinct from the owner of the target they point to,
> and getFileLinkStatus ought to expose this.
> In some operating systems, symlinks can have a permission other than 0777.
> We ought to expose this in RawLocalFilesystem and other places, although we
> don't necessarily have to support this behavior in HDFS.
