Ivan Mitic created HADOOP-9061:
----------------------------------
Summary: Java6+Windows does not work well with symlinks
Key: HADOOP-9061
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9061
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1-win
Reporter: Ivan Mitic
Assignee: Ivan Mitic
We’ve seen multiple problems with file operations on symbolic links on Java6 on
Windows. Specifically:
- File#length returns zero on symbolic links
- File#renameTo renames the target, not the symlink
Problematic scenarios are mainly related to symlinks created for dist cache.
Java7 does not have above problems.
