> Key: HDFS-5613
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5613
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: HDFS ACLs (HDFS-4685)
> Reporter: Chris Nauroth
> Assignee: Chris Nauroth
> Attachments: HDFS-5613.1.patch
>
>
> A symlink in HDFS does not have an ACL of its own. Operations that modify
> the ACL of a symlink instead modify the target of the symlink. For
> operations that enforce ACLs, enforcement is on the target of the symlink.
> This is similar to existing handling of permissions for symlinks.
