Boris Shkolnik commented on HADOOP-6203:
----------------------------------------
Well, there are few ways of solving this.
1. print out the "cause" exception together with the error message. That will
tell the person that the problem was with Quota. We cannot make suggestions
about "-skipTrash" in this case.
2. catch and rethrow exception in delete function when trying to move to Trash.
This way we know that the problem is with trash and we can issue a message
suggesting using "-skipTrash". The disadvantage is that this way we issue two
separate messages.

> Reporter: Jakob Homan

> HADOOP-6080 provided an option for deleting files even when overquota, but
> the error message that's returned in this situation is unhelpful and doesn't
> suggest skipTrash as a remediation:
> {noformat}$ hdfs -rmr /foo/bar/bat/boo
> rmr: Failed to move to trash:
> hdfs://cluster/foo/bar/bat/boo{noformat}
> In this situation, the error message should say there was a quote problem and
> suggest -skipTrash.
