Mahadev konar updated HADOOP-2193:
----------------------------------
Attachment: hadoop_2193_1.patch
this patch fixes the issue.
with dfs -rm[-r] /nonexistentfile
this prints
cannot remove /nonexistentfile: No such file or directory.
the patch on a fs.delete returning false checks if the file does not exist.
(this is just to save rpcs on a exists for every case) and then throws
filenotfoundexcpetion.
> dfs rm and rmr commands differ from POSIX standards

> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.15.1, 0.16.0
> Reporter: Mukund Madhugiri

>
> Assuming the dfs commands follow POSIX standards, there are some problems
> with the DFS rm and rmr commands. I compared the DFS output with that of RHEL
> 4u5:
> In both cases, if the file/directory does not exist, it will not give any
> indication to the user.
> 1. rm a file/directory that does not exist:
> Linux: rm: cannot remove `testarea/two': No such file or directory
> DFS: rm: /testarea/two
> 2. rmr a file/directory that does not exist:
> Linux: rm: cannot remove `testarea/two': No such file or directory
> DFS: rm: /testarea/two
