FileContext.createSymlink with kerberos enabled sets wrong owner
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-1821
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1821
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.22.0
         Environment: Kerberos enabled on cluster
            Reporter: John George
            Assignee: John George


TEST SETUP
Using attached sample hdfs java program that illustrates the issue.
Using cluster with Kerberos enabled on cluster

# Compile instructions
$ javac Symlink.java -cp `hadoop classpath`
$ jar -cfe Symlink.jar Symlink Symlink.class

# create test file for symlink to use
1. hadoop fs -touchz /user/username/filetest

# Create symlink using file context
2. hadoop jar Symlink.jar ln /user/username/filetest /user/username/testsymlink

# Verify owner of test file
3. hadoop jar Symlink.jar ls /user/username/
-rw-r--r-- jeagles hdfs /user/jeagles/filetest
-rwxrwxrwx jeag...@xx.xxxx.xxxxx.xxx hdfs /user/username/testsymlink

RESULTS
1. Owner shows 'usern...@xx.xxxx.xxxxx.xxx' for symlink, expecting 'username'.
2. Symlink is corrupted and can't removed, since it was created with an invalid 
user


------------------------
Sample program to create Symlink

FileContext fc = FileContext.getFileContext(getConf());
fc.createSymlink(target, symlink, false);
