Major Description
When a symlink is first created, it get added to EditLogs. When namenode is restarted, it reads from this editlog and represents a symlink correctly and saves this information to its image. If the namenode is restarted again, it reads its from this FSImage, but thinks that a symlink is a directory. This is because it uses "Block[] blocks" to determine if an INode is a directory, a file, or symlink. Since both a directory and a symlink has blocks as null, it thinks that a symlink is a directory.
