[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-7182) remove stub implementation of HardLink from FileUtil, after fixing any remaining dependencies

["Matt Foley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7182?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Matt Foley updated HADOOP-7182:
-------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.23.0)
         Assignee:     (was: Matt Foley)
           Status: Open  (was: Patch Available)

Suresh pointed out that this was formerly a public interface, so may be used in custom jobs.  Rather than force all such jobs to update with the release of v23, it seems better to leave this cleanup task for the indefinite future.

The API has been deprecated, and can be removed whenever the community feels it will not cause undue disruption to users.  In the meantime, the patch is withdrawn.

> This is the third part of a refactoring of HardLink:
> 1. HADOOP-7133 moved HardLink from an inner class of FileUtil to a stand-alone class, but left a stub class in FileUtil to prevent breaking clients in HDFS.
> 2. HDFS-1445 changes the clients in HDFS to point at the new implementation.
> 3. After HDFS-1445 is committed, this ticket is to clean up the code by removing the backward-compatibility stub.
