Mahadev konar commented on HADOOP-3307:
---------------------------------------

I dont htink just symbolik links would solve the problem. We would need mounts 
to make it transparent and some storage in the filesystem to know what we are 
supposed to do with the mounts.
I was going to go with the second option -- parsing for query on every path 
which does seem like a bad idea. The syntax right now is a little ambiguous and 
has implicit asusmptiosn about the har filesystem. I was trying to get rid of 
the implicit assumption.
