Allen Wittenauer resolved HDFS-179.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Not a Problem
I'm going to close this as Not a Problem.
fs test works exactly like test and the shell test built-ins work: 0 for
success, any other value for failure. If you want to know whether it exists,
or is a file, or is whatever, then you need to specifically test for those
conditions.
> hadoop fs -test -d should return different codes for difference cases

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Runping Qi
>
> Currently, hadoop fs -test -d path returns 0 for the case where path is a
> directory and -1 for all the other cases such as execution errors, path does
> not exists, and path is a file.
> It is better to use different return codes to differentiate these cases.
> Similar issues also apply to hadoop fs -test -e|z
