Saurabh Padhy commented on HADOOP-15319: ---------------------------------------- [~shahrs87] We execute the command {noformat} hadoop fs -rm "/a/b/c/*" {noformat} Still facing the similar issues in the 2.8.2 version. But in case of "/a/b/c/" It is unable to remove the files. That's the reason we use "/*" which removes everything inside the directory. > hadoop fs -rm command misbehaves on recent hadoop version 2.5.0 > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-15319 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15319 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: bin > Affects Versions: 2.8.2 > Reporter: Saurabh Padhy > Priority: Major > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
