--------------------------------------
Summary: WebHDFS does not allow resolution of Symlinks
Key: HDFS-4559
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4559
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.3-alpha
Reporter: Plamen Jeliazkov
Assignee: Plamen Jeliazkov
Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.0.4-beta
WebHDFS allows you to create symlinks via the CREATESYMLINK operation, but the
GETFILEINFO operation specifically calls the getFileInfo() method of the
NameNodeRpcServer which does not resolve symlinks.
I propose adding a parameter to GETFILEINFO such that if true will call
getFileLinkInfo() rather than getFileInfo() which will resolve any symlinks.
