-----------------------------------
Summary: CLONE - RawLocalFs#getFileLinkStatus does not fill in the
link owner and mode
Key: HADOOP-10276
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10276
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
Fix For: 2.4.0
{{RawLocalFs#getFileLinkStatus}} does not actually get the owner and mode of
the symlink, but instead uses the owner and mode of the symlink target. If the
target can't be found, it fills in bogus values (the empty string and
FsPermission.getDefault) for these.
Symlinks have an owner distinct from the owner of the target they point to, and
getFileLinkStatus ought to expose this.
In some operating systems, symlinks can have a permission other than 0777. We
ought to expose this in RawLocalFilesystem and other places, although we don't
necessarily have to support this behavior in HDFS.
