Stephen Chu commented on HADOOP-11277:
--------------------------------------

Yeah, in typical code 1 == true and 0 == false, but the Hadoop commands follow 
the unix exit code conventions, where 0 means the command was successful and 
non-zero means otherwise.

In this scenario, when we run {{hadoop fs -test -e}} on a file that exists, 
then the exit code is 0, meaning that the existence test ran successfully.

> hdfs dfs test command  "returning 0 if true." instead of what should be 
> "returning 1 if true."

> The CDH5 File System (FS) shell commands documentation has an error. The test 
> command lists  "returning 0 if true."  for all options. Should be "returning 
> 1 if true."
