------------------------------------------
Summary: FileSystem#globStatus and FileContext#globStatus need to
work with symlinks
Key: HDFS-5048
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5048
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
FileSystem#globStatus and FileContext#globStatus need to work with symlinks.
Currently, they resolve all links, so that if you have:
{code}
/alpha/beta
/alphaLink -> alpha
{code}
and you take {{globStatus(/alphaLink/*)}}, you will get {{/alpha/beta}}, rather
than the expected {{/alphaLink/beta}}.
We even resolve terminal symlinks, which would prevent listing a symlink in
FSShell, for example. Instead, we should build up the path incrementally.
This will allow the shell to behave as expected, and also allow custom globbers
to "see" the correct paths for symlinks.
