Jason Lowe commented on HADOOP-8906: ------------------------------------ bq. The current behavior does seem kind of... odd. Agreed it does some odd things, but actually the example you gave is exactly what I would expect since UN*X shells do the same thing. The wildcard expands to match 'a' and then the 'a' directory is passed as an argument to the 'ls' command. {noformat} $ ls ./* ls: cannot access ./*: No such file or directory $ mkdir -p a/b/c $ ls ./* b {noformat} > paths with multiple globs are unreliable > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8906 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8906 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 2.0.0-alpha, 3.0.0 > Reporter: Daryn Sharp > Assignee: Daryn Sharp > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HADOOP-8906.patch > > > Let's say we have have a structure of "$date/$user/stuff/file".
