[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-9780) Consider providing original symlink path in getFileLinkStatus rather than resolved path

Colin Patrick McCabe created HADOOP-9780:
--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Consider providing original symlink path in getFileLinkStatus rather than resolved path
                 Key: HADOOP-9780
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9780
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
            Priority: Minor


We should consider providing the original symlink path in getFileLinkStatus rather than the resolved path.  Users who want the resolved path can use {{FileSystem#resolvePath}} to get that; users who just want information about the symlink itself (probably most users) don't have to pay the cost of resolution.
