distributedcache: Can we create symlink without mapred.create.symlink = yes?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2900
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2900
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: util
Reporter: Koji Noguchi
Priority: Minor
I always thought
<property>
<name>mapred.cache.archives</name>
<value>/archives/arc1.zip#symlink</value>
</property>
would create a symlink on the current working directory, but it also requires
<property>
<name>mapred.create.symlink</name>
<value>yes</value>
</property>
to be set.
Can we simplify it so that we always create a symlink whenever there's '#wwww'
entry?
Or is 'mapred.create.symlink' necessary since '#' is a valid dfs filename?
