Chris Nauroth updated HADOOP-9043:
----------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-9043.trunk.6.patch
Good catch, thanks Arpit! I've attached version 6 of the patch for both trunk
and branch-1-win. This switches all tests in {{TestWinUtils}} to use
{{assumeTrue}} for the Windows check.

> In general, the winutils symlink command rejects attempts to create symlinks
> targeting a destination file that does not exist. However, if given a
> symlink destination with forward slashes pointing at a file that does exist,
> then it creates the symlink with the forward slashes, and then attempts to
> open the file through the symlink will fail.
