-----------------------------------
Summary: A symlink within a snapshot pointing to a target outside the snapshot root can cause the snapshot contents to appear to change.
Key: HDFS-5303
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5303
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: namenode
Reporter: Chris Nauroth
A snapshot is supposed to represent the point-in-time state of a directory. However, if the directory contains a symlink that targets a file outside the snapshot root, then the snapshot contents will appear to change if someone changes the target file (i.e. delete or append).
