Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-4044:
---------------------------------------------
> 1. can re-run the test and post them here.
Yes, that's what I mean the results should be posted.
> 2. every operation in DFSClient will have to convert a FsResultWritbale
> object into a FsResult
No they don't because FsResultWritbale is a subclass of FsResult. So RPC call
returns FsResultWritbale and DFSClient can return at further up as FsResult no
conversion needed.
Please look at the implementation of {{DFSClient.setReplication()}} above.
> 4. Sure you can remove the method in a separate jira prior this one.
> Create symbolic links in HDFS

> HDFS should support symbolic links. A symbolic link is a special type of file
> that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an
> absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution. Programs
> which read or write to files named by a symbolic link will behave as if
> operating directly on the target file. However, archiving utilities can
> handle symbolic links specially and manipulate them directly.
