Ahmed Radwan commented on HADOOP-8780:
--------------------------------------

Many thanks Tom for the review! I have looked at why these two properties were dropped. This was a result of MAPREDUCE-4493 changes:

In ConfigUtil.java:

{code}
-    Configuration.addDeprecation("mapred.create.symlink", 
-      new String[] {MRJobConfig.CACHE_SYMLINK});
{code}

And then the doc was added to DeprecatedProperties.apt.vm:

{code}
-|mapred.create.symlink | mapreduce.job.cache.symlink.create
+|mapred.create.symlink | NONE - symlinking is always on
+*---+---+
+|mapreduce.job.cache.symlink.create | NONE - symlinking is always on
{code}

This is why these two properties were automatically dropped. I think dropping them is fine though. This document lists the deprecated properties and their replacements but these two properties are not deprecated, they are always on. So this apt document may not be the place to convey that. What do you think? I am also CCing Bobby to see if he has a different opinion. Any thoughts?
