Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-9769:
------------------------------------------
Updating this to major because portability is a pain in the ass.
> Remove org.apache.hadoop.fs.Stat when JDK6 support is dropped

> Key: HADOOP-9769
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9769
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha1
> Reporter: Andrew Wang
> Assignee: Kengo Seki
> Attachments: HADOOP-9769.001.patch
>
>
> HADOOP-9652 introduces a new class which shells out to stat(1) because of the
> lack of lstat(2) in Java 6. Java 7 has support for reading symlink targets
> via {{Files#readSymbolicLink}}.
> When Hadoop drops Java 6 support, let's use this more portable method instead.
> See:
> http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Files.html#readSymbolicLink(java.nio.file.Path)
