> Project: Hadoop HDFS

> Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.3.0

> 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.
