Lei (Eddy) Xu commented on HDFS-5546:
-------------------------------------
Thanks [~daryn]. You are right. {{ls}} should not print the Warning message.
Just one question, would it be preferable to stop iterating a namespace when
the first FNF happens, as what the first patch did? I thought {{/bin/ls -R}}
printing the rest of the namespace even some files are deleted during the
execution?
> race condition crashes "hadoop ls -R" when directories are moved/removed

> This seems to be a rare race condition where we have a sequence of events
> like this:
> 1. org.apache.hadoop.shell.Ls calls DFS#getFileStatus on directory D.
> 2. someone deletes or moves directory D
> 3. org.apache.hadoop.shell.Ls calls PathData#getDirectoryContents(D), which
> calls DFS#listStatus(D). This throws FileNotFoundException.
> 4. ls command terminates with FNF
