Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-10971:
-------------------------------------------
I wonder if we should just change the default behavior of ls to not print and
add the -l flag instead.
Of course, this is an incompatible change and would only be allowed in trunk.
> Flag to make `hadoop fs -ls` print filenames only
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-10971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10971
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Ryan Williams
>
> It would be useful to have a flag that made {{hadoop fs -ls}} only print
> filenames, instead of full {{stat}} info. The "{{-C}}" flag from GNU {{ls}}
> is the closest analog to this behavior that I've found, so I propose that as
> the flag.
> Per [this stackoverflow answer|http://stackoverflow.com/a/21574829], I've
> reluctantly added a {{hadoop-ls-C}} wrapper that expands to {{hadoop fs -ls
> "$@" | sed 1d | perl -wlne'print +(split " ",$_,8)\[7\]'}} to a few projects
> I've worked on, and it would obviously be nice to have hadoop save me (and
> others) from such hackery.
