[jira] [Created] (HDFS-5035) getFileLinkStatus and rename do not correctly check permissions of symlinks

Andrew Wang created HDFS-5035:
---------------------------------

             Summary: getFileLinkStatus and rename do not correctly check permissions of symlinks
                 Key: HDFS-5035
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5035
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.1.0-beta
            Reporter: Andrew Wang
            Assignee: Andrew Wang


Operations like getFileLinkStatus and rename operate on symlinks, not symlink targets. However, permission checks right now are being done on the symlink target, resulting in wonky behavior.

This is similar to HDFS-4765, which fixed the same problem for delete.
