Ramesh Sekaran commented on HADOOP-5461:
----------------------------------------
Hi,
Thanks for the clarification. You are right, the source path (with *) should
have been escaped.
Then, I would like to request that the exit code for such command be
non-zero - to keep the behavior consistent with respect to invalid source
directory.
thanks,
Ramesh
> Incorrect exit code from "hadoop dfs -mv"
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-5461
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5461
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.20.0
> Reporter: Ramesh Sekaran
> Priority: Minor
>
> In hadoop 0.17 & 0.18 the behavior of "hadoop dfs -mv <invalid src dir>/*
> <target dir>" is as shown below.
> $ hadoop dfs -mv /user/dfsload/does-not-exist/* /user/dfsload/.Trash
> hadoop: No match.
> $ echo $?
> 1
> The same command when issued to hadoop 0.20 cluster, has a "0" exit code
> which is incorrect.
> $ hadoop dfs -mv /user/dfsload/does-not-exist/* /user/dfsload/.Trash
> $ echo $?
> 0
> The exit code must be non-zero in this case.
