---------------------------------------------
Did you check it on trunk?
This may be similar issue on 20.x versions

> hadoop fs -stat '{glob}' gives null with combo of absolute and non-existent
> files
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-7464
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7464
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2
> Environment: CDH3u0
> Reporter: Jay Hacker
> Priority: Minor
>
> I'm trying to {{hadoop fs -stat}} a list of HDFS files all at once, because
> doing them one at a time is slow. stat doesn't accept multiple arguments, so
> I'm using a glob of the form '{file1,file2}' (quoted from the shell). I've
> discovered this doesn't work for me because the glob expands non-existent
> files to nothing, and I get nothing back from stat. It would be nice to be
> able to use stat for this, but perhaps that's more of a feature request.
> However, in the process, I discovered that with relative pathnames, I get
> back the stats for the existing files. With absolute filenames, I get back
> {{stat: null}}.
> $ hadoop fs -touchz file1 file2
> $ hadoop fs -stat '{file1,file2}'
> 2011-07-15 21:21:19
> 2011-07-15 21:21:19
> $ hadoop fs -stat '{file1,file2,nonexistent}'
> 2011-07-15 21:21:19
> 2011-07-15 21:21:19
> $ hadoop fs -stat '{/user/me/file1,/user/me/file2}'
> 2011-07-15 21:21:19
> 2011-07-15 21:21:19
> $ hadoop fs -stat '{/user/me/file1,/user/me/file2,nonexistent}'
> stat: null
> Perhaps I'm doing something dumb, but it seems like stat should give the same
> results whether you use relative or absolute paths.
