Arpit Agarwal commented on HADOOP-12358:
----------------------------------------
bq. If automation really wants to delete that many blocks, then what? How does
it override if the only option to do so forces a prompt?
The administrator should consider this potential breakage before enabling it.
We should make it explicit in the documentation.
bq. We could add "-y, --yes, or --assume-yes" to automatic yes to prompts so
that delete run non-interactively.
We have seen some administrators routinely pass {{–skipTrash}} which leads to
these situations. IMO if we add {{--yes}} or similar they will just start
including that as well.
> FSShell should prompt before deleting directories bigger than a configured
> size

> We have seen many cases with customers deleting data inadvertently with
> -skipTrash. The FSShell should prompt user if the size of the data or the
> number of files being deleted is bigger than a threshold even though
> -skipTrash is being used.
