The problem is that there are three levels of expansion going on.
1. Your shell
2. The bin/hadoop shell script
3. HDFS globbing
I would guess that you are making it part way through, but then losing. Of
course the easiest way is to do:
% bin/hadoop dfs -get "Don*t call*.txt"
The other way is to use fuse, write a java program, or add an echo into
bin/hadoop so that you can see what is actually being passed down to the
fsshell and adjust as necessary.
