Jason Lowe updated HADOOP-9652: ------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Assignee: Andrew Wang (was: Colin Patrick McCabe) Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available) Thanks Andrew! I committed the addendum patch to trunk and branch-2. > Allow RawLocalFs#getFileLinkStatus to fill in the link owner and mode if > requested > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9652 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9652 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe > Assignee: Andrew Wang > Fix For: 2.4.0 > > Attachments: 0001-temporarily-disable-HADOOP-9652.patch, > hadoop-9452-1.patch, hadoop-9652-2.patch, hadoop-9652-3.patch, > hadoop-9652-4.patch, hadoop-9652-5.patch, hadoop-9652-6.patch, > hadoop-9652-workaround.patch > > > {{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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
