This would allow users to create > symlinks from the shell without having to write a Java program. > One thing that makes this complicated is that FSShell currently uses > FileSystem internally, and symlinks are currently only supported by the > FileContext API. So either FSShell would have to be ported to FileContext, > or symlinks would have to be added to FileSystem. Or perhaps we could open a > FileContext only when symlinks were necessary, but that seems messy. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
