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

FileUtil.fullyDelete(dir) behavior is not defined when we pass a symlink as the argument
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6536
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6536
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: fs
            Reporter: Amareshwari Sriramadasu
             Fix For: 0.22.0


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.
