Sorry, My bad - It is related to 2.8.2 version.

When we are using {color:#14892c}*"hadoop fs -rm /a/b/c/" or "hdfs dfs -rm 
/a/b/c/*{color}{color:#14892c}*"*{color} it gives error - ''{color:#d04437}c is 
a directory{color}"

But when we tried to execute

*"hadoop fs -rm /a/b/c/*" or "hdfs dfs -rm /a/b/c/*"* the 'c' directory also 
gets deleted

Whereas in 2.4.x version it was not deleting 'c' instead of it was only 
deleting the files inside c.

> hadoop fs -rm command misbehaves on recent hadoop version 2.5.0

> This issue is regarding hadoop fs -rm command. 
> In hadoop version 2.4.0 when we execute "hadoop fs -rm /a/b/c/*",
> It removes the files inside the c directory only.
> But in case of versions higher to 2.8.2,
> When we execute "hadoop fs -rm /a/b/c/**" or "hdfs dfs -rm /a/b/c/**"
> It removes the inside files and directory as well.
> Please look into the issue.
