Tom White commented on HADOOP-865:
----------------------------------
Bryan,
The patch should be a simple fix for the problem. If you try "hadoop dfs -rm
filename" it should now work.
Note that -rmr doesn't work yet (I will create another patch for this).
Thanks,
Tom

> I've been playing with the S3 integration. My first attempts to use it are
> actually as a drop-in replacement for a backup job, streaming data offsite by
> piping the backup job output to a "hadoop dfs -put - targetfile".
> If enough errors occur posting to S3 (this happened easily last Thursday,
> during an S3 growth issue), the write can eventually fail. At that point,
> there are both blocks and a partial INode written into S3. Doing a "hadoop
> dfs -ls filename" shows the file, it has a non-zero size, etc. However,
> trying to "hadoop dfs -rm filename" a failed-written file results in the
> response "rm: No such file or directory."
