---------------------------------------
I'd like to volunteer for this issue, after my patch for HADOOP-7006, which
involves the same part of the codebase.
> FsShell -getmerge source file pattern is broken
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-6387
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6387
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Reporter: Eli Collins
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.22.0
>
>
> The FsShell -getmerge command doesn't work if the "source file pattern"
> matches files. See below. If the current behavior is intended then we should
> update the help documentation and java docs to match, but it would be nice if
> the user could specify a set of files in a directory rather than just
> directories.
> {code}
> $ hadoop fs -help getmerge
> -getmerge <src> <localdst>: Get all the files in the directories that
> match the source file pattern and merge and sort them to only
> one file on local fs. <src> is kept.
> $ hadoop fs -ls
> Found 3 items
> -rw-r--r-- 1 eli supergroup 2 2009-11-23 17:39 /user/eli/1.txt
> -rw-r--r-- 1 eli supergroup 2 2009-11-23 17:39 /user/eli/2.txt
> -rw-r--r-- 1 eli supergroup 2 2009-11-23 17:39 /user/eli/3.txt
> $ hadoop fs -getmerge /user/eli/*.txt sorted.txt
> $ cat sorted.txt
> cat: sorted.txt: No such file or directory
> $ hadoop fs -getmerge /user/eli/* sorted.txt
> $ cat sorted.txt
> cat: sorted.txt: No such file or directory
> $ hadoop fs -getmerge /user/* sorted.txt
> $ cat sorted.txt
