Aaron T. Myers commented on HADOOP-8479:
----------------------------------------
I'm happy to be convinced otherwise, but presently I'm of the opinion that this
seems like an error in the docs. Setting a quota is an administrative command,
so if an administrator notices a user directory that's using too much space,
they might want to set a quota on it which would then force the user to later
clean up that dir as they see fit. I don't think the administrator should be
required to clean up the dir before being able to set the quota.
> update HDFS quotas guide: currently says setting quota fails if the directory
> would be in violation of the new quota

> The guide says "The attempt to set a quota fails if the directory would be in
> violation of the new quota" for both Name Quotas and Space Quotas.
> That doesn't seem to be the case, though. I can set the quota successfully
> even when the directory violates the new quota.
