AFAIK, there is no facility like this in HDFS through command line.
One option is, write small client program and collect the files from root based
on your condition and invoke delete on them.

Subject: How to delete files older than X days in HDFS/Hadoop
Hi,
I'm wondering how to delete files older than X days with HDFS/Hadoop. On
linux we can do it with the folowing command:
find ~/datafolder/* -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;
Any ideas?
