Chuan Liu commented on HADOOP-9483: ----------------------------------- MSDN says: {quote} A final path is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved. For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to "D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir". The string that is returned by this function uses the \\?\ syntax. {quote} So I think it will be full path prefixed with "\\?\". > winutils support for readlink command > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9483 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9483 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: util > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Chris Nauroth > > The current codebase relies on the Unix readlink command to determine the > target of a symlink on the local file system. winutils currently does not > support this functionality on Windows. Adding the command to winutils will > prevent the need to use GnuWin32 or Cygwin for readlink support. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
