> {{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.
