    Description

      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.
