Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6421:
--------------------------------------
Should we add an implementation to LocalFileSystem here? That would enable us
to add some tests. It could use shell commands to implement createSymlink()
and getLinkTarget(). The hardest bit might be implementing listStatus() and
getStatus() to correctly support isLink().
Testing could instead be accomplished with a FilterFileSystem implementation
used only for testing. It would be nice to have a usable implemenation for the
local fs, but that could be left to a separate issue.
