----------------------------------------
Summary: rm or rmf commands should respect globbing/regex of path
Key: PIG-3183
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3183
Project: Pig
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: grunt
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Reporter: Prashant Kommireddi
Fix For: 0.12
Hadoop fs commands support globbing during deleting files/dirs. Pig is not
consistent with this behavior and seems like we could change rm/rmf commands to
do the same.
For eg:
{code}
localhost:pig pkommireddi$ ls -ld out*
drwxr-xr-x 12 pkommireddi SF\domain users 408 Feb 13 01:09 out
drwxr-xr-x 2 pkommireddi SF\domain users 68 Feb 13 01:16 out1
drwxr-xr-x 2 pkommireddi SF\domain users 68 Feb 13 01:16 out2
localhost:pig pkommireddi$ bin/pig -x local
grunt> rmf out*
grunt> quit
localhost:pig pkommireddi$ ls -ld out*
drwxr-xr-x 12 pkommireddi SF\domain users 408 Feb 13 01:09 out
drwxr-xr-x 2 pkommireddi SF\domain users 68 Feb 13 01:16 out1
drwxr-xr-x 2 pkommireddi SF\domain users 68 Feb 13 01:16 out2
{code}
Ideally, the user would expect "rmf out*" to delete all of the above dirs.
