Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HADOOP-7164: --------------------------------------------- In current trunk , looks this issue is fine . Error messages standardized by HADOOP-7271 Tests: linux-ybe6:/home/Uma/contributions/hadoop-hdfs-0.23.0-SNAPSHOT/bin # ./hdfs dfs -rm -r /NonExistant* rm: `/NonExistant*': No such file or directory linux-ybe6:/home/Uma/contributions/hadoop-hdfs-0.23.0-SNAPSHOT/bin # Now looks it complaining to posix. I will be closing this issue as duplicate to HADOOP-7271. > rmr command is not displaying any error message when a path contains wildcard > characters and does not exist. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-7164 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7164 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.20.1, 0.20.2 > Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > Attachments: HDFS-1609-src.patch, HDFS-1609-test.patch, > HDFS-1609.patch > > > When we give invalid directory path then it will show error message on the > console.
