--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: Future
> Support for Symlinked Table Paths to be used in Drill Queries.
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-5984
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5984
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Environment: OS : CentOS 7.1
> MapR-DB Version: 5.2.2
> Reporter: Saravanabavagugan Vengadasundaram
> Assignee: Pritesh Maker

> MapR-FS supports symlinks and hence MapR-DB table paths support symlinks as
> well. As part of the project I work on, we use symlinks as a means of
> communication to talk to the physical file. An employee table in MapR-DB will
> be represented as "/tables/Employee/Entity_1233232" and there will be a
> symlink called "/tables/Employee/Entity" pointing to the actual physical
> table. Currently, drill does not understand queries having the symlink path
> but only executes queries having the actual physical table path. So every
> time, I need to find out the actual physical path of the table and frame my
> query. It would be nice to have this feature in next version of Drill.
