Hairong Kuang updated HADOOP-3173:
----------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Blocker)
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.17.0)
0.18.0
Assignee: (was: Edward J. Yoon)
This is a known issue and is not a regression. See HADOOP-1995. So I am going
to mark it a blocker to release 0.17. Code-wise we use backslash to escape glob
special characters. But backslash collides with the windows path separator. It
does not work.
For now I would suggest a user to programatically remove a directory/file whose
name contains glob special characters.
Also Rajiv, you should quote all dfs globs in the command line. Otherwise, the
local file system will interpret it first.
