---------------------------------
Summary: DistributedFileSystem getLinkStatus should not fully
qualifies the link target
Key: HDFS-5294
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5294
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: hdfs-client
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha, 3.0.0
Reporter: Daryn Sharp
The NN returns a {{FileStatus}} containing the exact link target as specified
by the user at creation. However, {{DistributedFileSystem#getFileLinkStatus}}
explicit overwrites the target with the fully scheme qualified path lookup.
This causes multiple issues such as:
# Prevents clients from discerning if the target is relative or absolute
# Mangles a target that is not intended to be a path
# Causes incorrect resolution with multi-layered filesystems - ie. the link
should be resolved relative to a higher level fs (ie. viewfs, chroot, filtered,
etc)
