Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-6203:
-----------------------------------------
I prefer the shorter message from the existing patch as output instead of
printing the exception message in the output. Given that the layer where error
is being printed does not have specific nature of error, such as, quota
exceeded this seems like the best thing to do.
Looking at the output which says {{rm: Failed to move to trash:
hdfs://localhost:9000/file3 }}, the existing output (prior to the patch)
already indicates a trash related error. The value add of this patch is that
the output indicates the user can work around the problem by using the
-skipTrash option.
I am +1 for the change if Koji agrees that the existing output captures
sufficient information for the user.

> 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.
