Colin Patrick McCabe created HADOOP-9984: --------------------------------------------
Summary: FileSystem#globStatus and FileSystem#listStatus should resolve symlinks by default Key: HADOOP-9984 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9984 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe During the process of adding symlink support to FileSystem, we realized that many existing HDFS clients would be broken by listStatus and globStatus returning symlinks. One example is applications that assume that !FileStatus#isFile implies that the inode is a directory. As we discussed in HADOOP-9972 and HADOOP-9912, we should default these APIs to returning resolved paths. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
