Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-9527:
---------------------------------------
I'm +1 for committing the v10 patch and submitting subsequent jiras to address
any lingering clean-up activities, which appear to be minor at this point.
Regarding letting the test fail, I agree with the concept in general as a dev
process. Unfortunately, I don't think it interacts well with the established
Apache patch workflow. If we committed v11, then Jenkins would -1 every patch,
and it could mask new failures introduced in later file system patches. (Arpit
stated earlier that it's not a Windows-specific problem. It happens on Linux
too.) There are other examples in the code of leaving a TODO and mentioning a
jira, so this appears to be acceptable if used in moderation.

> Multiple test cases are broken. I didn't look at each failure in detail.
> The main cause of the failures appears to be that RawLocalFS.readLink() does
> not work on Windows. We need "winutils readlink" to fix the test.
