FsShell ls: Show symlinks properties
------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1788
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1788
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: tools
Reporter: Jonathan Eagles
Priority: Minor
ls FsShell command implementation has been consistent with the linux
implementations of ls -l. With the addition of symlinks, I would expect the
ability to show file type 'd' for directory, '-' for file, and 'l' for symlink.
In addition, following the linkname entry for symlinks, I would expect the
ability to show "-> <link target>". In linux, the default is to the the
properties of the link and not of the link target. In linux, '-L' option allows
for the dereferencing of symlinks to show link target properties, but it is not
the default.
