Stephen Chu created HDFS-5006:
---------------------------------
Summary: Provide a link to symlink target in the web UI
Key: HDFS-5006
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5006
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Reporter: Stephen Chu
Priority: Minor
Attachments: screenshot1.png, screenshot2.png
Currently, it's difficult to see what is a symlink from the web UI.
I've attached two screenshots. In screenshot 1, we see the symlink
_/user/schu/tf2-link_ which has a target _/user/schu/dir1/tf2_.
If we click the tf2-link URL, we arrive at a page that shows the path of the
target (screenshot 2).
It'd be useful if there was a link to this target web UI page and some way of
easily discerning if a file is a symlink.
