Chris Nauroth created HADOOP-9043: ------------------------------------- Summary: winutils can create unusable symlinks Key: HADOOP-9043 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9043 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: util Affects Versions: 1-win, trunk-win Reporter: Chris Nauroth Assignee: Chris Nauroth
In general, the winutils symlink command rejects attempts to create symlinks targeting a destination file that does not exist. However, if given a symlink destination with forward slashes pointing at a file that does exist, then it creates the symlink with the forward slashes, and then attempts to open the file through the symlink will fail. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
