Description

o.a.h.hdfs.web.resources.ExceptionHandler.toResponse does not treat UnresolvedLinkException . This implies the client-side will generate a generic IOException or an unchecked exception.

The server should return GONE that can be translated to FileNotFoundException or the actual UnresolvedLinkException if the API allows it.
