Akira AJISAKA commented on HADOOP-10385:
----------------------------------------
I agree {{hdfs dfs -ls '/emptydir/\*'}} prints nothing if there are no files or
directories in {{/emptydir}}. However, now {{hdfs dfs -ls '/test/\*'}} prints
nothing if there are some empty directories in {{/test}}.
I suppose it's better to print the directory name like unix shell as follows:
{code}
$ hdfs dfs -ls '/test/*'
/test/1 : 0 results found
/test/2 : 0 results found
{code}
or
{code}
$ hdfs dfs -ls '/test/*'
/test/1 :
/test/2 :
{code}
> The output of FsShell is sometimes confusing

> Key: HADOOP-10385
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10385
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Akira AJISAKA
> Priority: Minor
>
> For example, directories {{/test/1}} and {{/test/2}} are listed by {{hdfs dfs
> -ls '/test*'}} but are not listed by {{hdfs dfs -ls '/test/*'}}. This
> behavior looks confusing.
