Andrew Wang commented on HADOOP-10247:
--------------------------------------
Yea, I agree with your analysis Chris. I think this is why (at least on my
machine) {{ls -lR}} prints directory-by-directory, so it can align one
directory at a time. I guess we could change it to the per-dir format, but
that's probably incompatible, and we'd need a little more effort yet if the
shell is using the batched listing API.
> FsShell -ls -R output misaligned if child path has longer string
> representation than parent.
