Stephen Chu created HDFS-6760: --------------------------------- Summary: Deletion of directories with snapshots will not output reason for trash move failure Key: HDFS-6760 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6760 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.4.0 Reporter: Stephen Chu Assignee: Stephen Chu Priority: Minor
When using trash-enabled FsShell to delete a directory that has snapshots, we se an error message saying "Failed to move to trash" but no explanation. {code} [hdfs@schu-enc2 ~]$ hdfs dfs -rm -r snap 2014-07-28 05:45:29,527 INFO [main] fs.TrashPolicyDefault (TrashPolicyDefault.java:initialize(92)) - Namenode trash configuration: Deletion interval = 1440 minutes, Emptier interval = 0 minutes. rm: Failed to move to trash: hdfs://schu-enc2.vpc.com:8020/user/hdfs/snap. Consider using -skipTrash option {code} If we use -skipTrash, then we'll get the explanation: "rm: The directory /user/hdfs/snap cannot be deleted since /user/hdfs/snap is snapshottable and already has snapshots" It'd be an improvement to make it clear that dirs with snapshots cannot be deleted when we're using the trash. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
