dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-5987:
------------------------------------------
Some of the questions raised in HADOOP-4044:
1. Does setReplication, setTimes, chmod, chgrp, chown apply to the symlink or
the underlying file/dir that the symlink point to?
2. Does fsck report symlinks?
3. Does har:// protocol support symlinks in the path leading to har file? In
har file itself?
4. Why doesn't the main method for this patch, FileSystem.createSymlink(),
which declares to throw IOException, no have any @throws clause in the javadoc.
5. Under what conditions does FileSystem.createSymlink() throw IOException?
> Create a user-guide for describing HDFS symlinks
