dfs rm and rmr commands differ from POSIX standards
---------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2193
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2193
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Bug
Components: dfs
Affects Versions: 0.15.1, 0.16.0
Reporter: Mukund Madhugiri
Fix For: 0.16.0
Assuming the dfs commands follow POSIX standards, there are some problems with
the DFS rm and rmr commands. I compared the DFS output with that of RHEL 4u5:
In both cases, if the file/directory does not exist, it will not give any
indication to the user.
1. rm a file/directory that does not exist:
Linux: rm: cannot remove `testarea/two': No such file or directory
DFS: rm: /testarea/two
2. rmr a file/directory that does not exist:
Linux: rm: cannot remove `testarea/two': No such file or directory
DFS: rm: /testarea/two
