Yayu Wang updated HDFS-16360:
-----------------------------
Description: Would you like to add a confirm prompt when removing the root
directory, especially when using local filesystem? I forgot to set fs.defaultFS
and executed `hdfs dfs -rm -r /` and it deleted everything on my local system.
I deleted all the files which I have access to under / directory, and I think a
sudo user may destroy the host by doing so. (was: Would you like to add a
confirm prompt when removing the root directory, especially when using local
filesystem? I forgot to set fs.defaultFS and executed `rm -r /*` and it deleted
everything on my local system. I lost everything under my $HOME directory, and
I think a sudo user may destroy the host by doing so.)
