Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-9912:
---------------------------------------
Another option is to revert HADOOP-9418 in branch-2.1 so it doesn't make it to
hadoop-2.2 too. We add everything back when we tie out details, so symlinks is
*officially* supported in hadoop-2.3 (with all sorts of ugly caveats).
I agree this isn't ideal, but seems like HADOOP-9418 came in too late anyway to
branch-2.1.
Thoughts?
