Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-12977:
-----------------------------------------

ooh, good point about "//". I'll add a test. 
regarding the assert, yes, I'll cut it. I added the second bit in to do a dump 
of what's going on, but clearly never hit that codepath again (I think it was 
an s3 list inconstency).

> if you try to delete the root directory on s3a, you get politely but firmly 
> told you can't
> {code}
> 2016-03-30 12:01:44,924 INFO  s3a.S3AFileSystem 
> (S3AFileSystem.java:delete(638)) - s3a cannot delete the root directory
> {code}
> The semantics of {{rm -rf "/"}} are defined, they are "delete everything 
> underneath, while preserving the root dir itself".
> # s3a needs to support this.
> # this skipped through the FS contract tests in 
> {{AbstractContractRootDirectoryTest}}; the option of whether deleting / works 
> or not should be made configurable.
