Koji Noguchi commented on HDFS-1609:
------------------------------------
If we want to follow the glob handling in unix, then it's a bit more tricky.
In Unix, non-matching globbing returns non-zero only when ALL of the globbings
fail.

[knoguchi ~/testo]$ ls
fileA
[knoguchi ~/testo]$ cat file*
ABCDEF
=======================
This is also success(return value 0) !?
[knoguchi ~/testo]$ cat file* nonexist*
ABCDEF
[knoguchi@gwbl4004 ~/testo]$ echo $?
0
=======================
And this is not?
[knoguchi ~/testo]$ cat fileA nonexist*
cat: No match.
[knoguchi ~/testo]$ echo $?
1
