Stephen Chu created HDFS-5006: --------------------------------- Summary: Provide a link to symlink target in the web UI Key: HDFS-5006 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5006 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.2.0 Reporter: Stephen Chu Priority: Minor Attachments: screenshot1.png, screenshot2.png
Currently, it's difficult to see what is a symlink from the web UI. I've attached two screenshots. In screenshot 1, we see the symlink _/user/schu/tf2-link_ which has a target _/user/schu/dir1/tf2_. If we click the tf2-link URL, we arrive at a page that shows the path of the target (screenshot 2). It'd be useful if there was a link to this target web UI page and some way of easily discerning if a file is a symlink. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
