Eli Collins updated HDFS-245: ----------------------------- Attachment: symlink20-common.patch symlink20-hdfs.patch Here are patches that combine Dhruba's latest symlink patch with the delta I posted that implements the API changes (modulo incorporating feedback from Dhruba like removing isLink in FileContext since isFile/isDirectory will be deprecated), adds more tests, and resolves merge conflicts. It passes test-core on both repos. I'm adding more tests but thought I'd ping the JIRA in case there's any additional feedback. > Create symbolic links in HDFS > ----------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-245 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-245 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: 4044_20081030spi.java, designdocv1.txt, designdocv2.txt, > HADOOP-4044-strawman.patch, symlink-0.20.0.patch, symLink1.patch, > symLink1.patch, symLink11.patch, symLink12.patch, symLink13.patch, > symLink14.patch, symLink15.txt, symLink15.txt, symlink16-common.patch, > symlink16-hdfs.patch, symlink16-mr.patch, symlink17-common.txt, > symlink17-hdfs.txt, symlink18-common.txt, symlink19-common-delta.patch, > symlink19-common.txt, symlink19-common.txt, symlink19-hdfs-delta.patch, > symlink19-hdfs.txt, symlink20-common.patch, symlink20-hdfs.patch, > symLink4.patch, symLink5.patch, symLink6.patch, symLink8.patch, symLink9.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
