Andrew Wang reassigned HADOOP-9652:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Andrew Wang
> FileContext#getFileLinkStatus does not fill in the link owner and mode
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-9652
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9652
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
> Assignee: Andrew Wang
>
> {{FileContext#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 who created them, 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.
