default behaviour of dfsShell -rm should resemble 'rm -i', not 'rm -rf'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-431
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-431
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Yoram Arnon
when using hadoop dfs -rm <path> the behaviour is like that of rm -rf.
That's very dangerous.
A better behaviour would require a confirmation and allow removal of files only
by default. Optional flags would allow recursive and forced deleted.
