   Is it possible to treat `SymlinkTextInputFormat` specially in `NewHadoopRDD` 
and `HadoopRDD`, where the `spark.hadoopRDD.ignoreEmptySplits` is used? e.g. 
something like:
   
   ```scala
         val allRowSplits = inputFormat.getSplits(new JobContextImpl(_conf, 
jobId)).asScala
         val rawSplits = if (ignoreEmptySplits &&
             inputFormat.getClass.getName != 
"org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.SymlinkTextInputFormat") {
           allRowSplits.filter(_.getLength > 0)
         } else {
           allRowSplits
         }
   ```
   
   I think a fix in Spark itself will be a good short term solution. A fix in 
Hive appears to be more involved. For one, it's hard to give a reasonable start 
and length for `SymlinkTextInputSplit` since it's just a link to a list of 
paths, and I'm not sure if changing the class would affect other places within 
Hive (as this class has been there for a very long time).
