   I think the problem today is we don't have a good abstraction for this 
feature at the framework level. This is a special hive file format that changes 
the behavior of file listing, while in Spark the `FileIndex` API assumes the 
file listing behavior is unrelated to the file format.
   
   This PR simply adds special handling of `SymlinkTextInputFormat` in several 
places, and I'm OK with it if it's super hard to come up with a good 
abstraction for it, but we should give it a try first.
