[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-7905) Port FileContext symlinks to FileSystem

Port FileContext symlinks to FileSystem
---------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-7905
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7905
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: fs
            Reporter: Eli Collins


FileSystem isn't going away anytime soon (HADOOP-6446). It would be useful to implement HADOOP-6421 for FileSystem, this would allow interoperability between FileContext and FileSystem (eg currently a symlink created via FileContext is not readable via FileSystem), which will help people migrate to FileContext. The work is mostly moving the client-side link resolution code to a shared place and porting the tests or modifying them to be FC/FS agnostic.
