Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on HADOOP-2914:
-------------------------------------------------

bq. It's my belief that SVN r696957 (HADOOP-249) turned off the symlink feature and that it hasn't worked since then. That said, I haven't yet written the test that would confirm this.
symlinks are not created TaskRunner.run(). They are created in setupWorkDir(), called from child. This is an optimization introduced in HADOOP-249. The test TestMiniMRDFSCaching tests DistributedCache and symlinks in it also .

> The DistributedCache does not work locally when using the outlined recipe at http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/r0.16.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/filecache/DistributedCache.html 
> Ideally, LocalJobRunner would take care of populating the JobConf and copying remote files to the local file sytem (http, assume hdfs = default fs = local fs when doing local development.
