---------------------------------
Summary: Remove support for extended attributes on symlinks
Key: HDFS-6373
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6373
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Andrew Wang
Looking in the Linux source code, we see the following:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.14.3/fs/xattr.c
{code}
60 /*
61 * In the user.* namespace, only regular files and directories can
have
62 * extended attributes. For sticky directories, only the owner and
63 * privileged users can write attributes.
64 */
{code}
We should consider removing {{XAttrFeature}} from {{INodeSymlink}}.
