---------------------------------------
Summary: s3a ignores delete("/", true)
Key: HADOOP-12977
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12977
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: fs/s3
Affects Versions: 2.9.0
Reporter: Steve Loughran
if you try to delete the root directory on s3a, you get politely but firmly
told you can't
{code}
2016-03-30 12:01:44,924 INFO s3a.S3AFileSystem
(S3AFileSystem.java:delete(638)) - s3a cannot delete the root directory
{code}
The semantics of {{rm -rf "/"}} are defined, they are "delete everything
underneath, while preserving the root dir itself".
# s3a needs to support this.
# this skipped through the FS contract tests in
{{AbstractContractRootDirectoryTest}}; the option of whether deleting / works
or not should be made configurable.
