Cheolsoo Park commented on PIG-3183:
------------------------------------
[~prkommireddi], please correct me if I am wrong.
* As of now, these limitations can be easily worked around by using "fs"
commands (i.e. fs -rm * and fs -ls *).
* Given these commands are not documented (and thus not official), I would
encourage users to use "fs" commands.
I do not know why these commands are added in the first place, and we should
keep them for backward compatibility for a while. But eventually I would like
to get rid of them since they're duplicate IMO.
> rm or rmf commands should respect globbing/regex of path

> 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.
