Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-5546:
--------------------------------------------
Which patch is current? HDFS-5546.2.004.patch? I'm not completely happy with
that patch since the return code is still 0 even after errors are encountered.
> 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
