Andrew Wang updated HADOOP-8040: -------------------------------- Attachment: hadoop-8040-7.patch OK, updated them into Path methods. New consolidated patch attached. I think that addresses all outstanding review comments, so I posted up newly rebased patch splits on HADOOP-9370 and subtasks of this jira. Thanks everyone for taking a look. > Add symlink support to FileSystem > --------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8040 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8040 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 3.0.0, 2.0.3-alpha > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Andrew Wang > Attachments: hadoop-8040-1.patch, hadoop-8040-2.patch, > hadoop-8040-3.patch, hadoop-8040-4.patch, hadoop-8040-5.patch, > hadoop-8040-6.patch, hadoop-8040-7.patch > > > HADOOP-6421 added symbolic links to FileContext. Resolving symlinks is done > on the client-side, and therefore requires client support. An HDFS symlink > (created by FileContext) when accessed by FileSystem will result in an > unhandled UnresolvedLinkException. Because not all users will migrate from > FileSystem to FileContext in lock step, and we want users of FileSystem to be > able to access all paths created by FileContext, we need to support symlink > resolution in FileSystem as well, to facilitate migration to FileContext. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
