Prashant Kommireddi updated PIG-3183: ------------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix Release Note: Users should be encouraged to use "fs -rm *" if required. In general, using "fs" should yield the same behavior as hadoop. Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available) Marking this "Won't fix" as using "fs" commands seems like the right approach going forward. > rm or rmf commands should respect globbing/regex of path > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-3183 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3183 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: grunt > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Prashant Kommireddi > Assignee: Prashant Kommireddi > Fix For: 0.12 > > Attachments: PIG-3183.patch > > > Hadoop fs commands support globbing during deleting files/dirs. Pig is not > consistent with this behavior and seems like we could change rm/rmf commands > to do the same. > For eg: > {code} > localhost:pig pkommireddi$ ls -ld out* > drwxr-xr-x 12 pkommireddi SF\domain users 408 Feb 13 01:09 out > drwxr-xr-x 2 pkommireddi SF\domain users 68 Feb 13 01:16 out1 > drwxr-xr-x 2 pkommireddi SF\domain users 68 Feb 13 01:16 out2 > localhost:pig pkommireddi$ bin/pig -x local > grunt> rmf out* > grunt> quit > localhost:pig pkommireddi$ ls -ld out* > drwxr-xr-x 12 pkommireddi SF\domain users 408 Feb 13 01:09 out > drwxr-xr-x 2 pkommireddi SF\domain users 68 Feb 13 01:16 out1 > drwxr-xr-x 2 pkommireddi SF\domain users 68 Feb 13 01:16 out2 > {code} > Ideally, the user would expect "rmf out*" to delete all of the above dirs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
