Since Hadoop 0.12, if you configure fs.trash.interval to a non-zero value then 'bin/hadoop dfs -rm' will move things to a trash directory instead of immediately removing them. The Trash is periodically emptied of older items. Perhaps we should change the default value for this to 60 (one hour)?

Oops...

I executed the following command:

./hadoop dfs -rmr .

Everything on the DFS, including the trash seems to be deleted. Is there a way to recover my data?

Thanks,
Mathijs
