Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-7141:
-------------------------------------
Double expansion of native path args should not be the default. If some reason
I want to "put" a file that contains a metachar, I do not want it expanded
again. The more reasonable solution might be addition of a "-glob" option to
commands that operate on native paths.
> hadoop fs -put and -copyFromLocal do not support globs in the source path

> Key: HADOOP-7141
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7141
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2
> Environment: Cloudera CDH3b3
> Reporter: Jay Hacker
> Priority: Minor
>
> I'd like to be able to use Hadoop globbing with the FsShell -put command, but
> it doesn't work:
> {noformat}
> $ ls
> file1 file2
> $ hadoop fs -put '*' .
> put: File * does not exist.
> {noformat}
> This has probably gone unnoticed because your shell usually handles it, but
> a) I'd like to be able to call 'hadoop fs' programatically without a shell,
> b) it doesn't work in Pig or Grunt, where there is no shell helping you, and
> c) Hadoop globbing differs from shell globbing and it would be nice to be
> able to use Hadoop globbing consistently throughout Hadoop.
