Bikas Saha updated HADOOP-8374: ------------------------------- Attachment: HADOOP-8374-1.patch Patch which makes tests pass with fsutil. However this requires admin privileges to run fsutil. mklink provides hard link creation but not hard link count. Need to write a utility to get hard link count without admin privileges. > Improve support for hard link manipulation on Windows > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8374 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8374 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Bikas Saha > Assignee: Bikas Saha > Fix For: 1.0.3 > > Attachments: HADOOP-8374-1.patch > > > Hard link support for Windows does not work properly. There is some > refactoring needed in the code. Also, the code currently executes the fsutil > command to manipulate hard links. fsutil requires admin privileges on recent > versions of Windows. The main features needed are the ability to create hard > links to a file and count the number of hard links to a file. So we could use > mklink to create hard links and write a custom executable to count hard > links. Or use a custom executable to do both using Windows API's. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
