[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-6536) FileUtil.fullyDelete(dir) behavior is not defined when we pass a symlink as the argument

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6536?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Amareshwari Sriramadasu updated HADOOP-6536:
--------------------------------------------

    Status: Open  (was: Patch Available)

Changes look good.

bq. I would also add that fullyDelete should delete dangling links (it currently does but we should add a test). 
Can you add a test for deleting dangling links also?

> FileUtil.fullyDelete(dir) deletes contents of sym-linked directory when we pass a symlink. If this is the behavior, it should be documented as so. 
> Or it should be changed not to delete the contents of the sym-linked directory.
