Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-7744:
-------------------------------------
Indeed, it looks like we still depend on symlinks in 0.94 but no longer on
0.96/trunk. What do you think about backporting HBASE-4285 to 0.94 as a first
step -- then there's no need for the localmode check?
I agree, it would be nice to have a test explicitly for this.
