-------------------------------------------------
bq. It's my belief that SVN r696957 (HADOOP-249) turned off the symlink feature
and that it hasn't worked since then. That said, I haven't yet written the test
that would confirm this.
symlinks are not created TaskRunner.run(). They are created in setupWorkDir(),
called from child. This is an optimization introduced in HADOOP-249. The test
TestMiniMRDFSCaching tests DistributedCache and symlinks in it also .
> extend DistributedCache to work locally (LocalJobRunner)
