[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6421) Symbolic links

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6421?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12788229#action_12788229 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6421:
--------------------------------------

Should we add an implementation to LocalFileSystem here?  That would enable us to add some tests.  It could use shell commands to implement createSymlink() and getLinkTarget().  The hardest bit might be implementing listStatus() and getStatus() to correctly support isLink().

Testing could instead be accomplished with a FilterFileSystem implementation used only for testing.  It would be nice to have a usable implemenation for the local fs, but that could be left to a separate issue.
