Need an option -rm and -rmr to *not* move to Trash, but actually delete
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-3474
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3474
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 0.17.0
            Reporter: Milind Bhandarkar


By default, when Trash is enabled, -rm and -rmr just move files/directories to 
.Trash, which are actually deleted after some time set in the config.

When DFS gets full, we need to quickly create space on it by deleting files, so 
it will be good to have a --force option to both -rm and -rmr, so that files 
are actually deleted and not moved.
