Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-12358:
----------------------------------------
I agree with Allen. This is a bad feature that will break lots of users.
The trash feature already does this better and because it has been used for
many years, is expected behavior.
> 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.
