             Summary: Add -q to fs -ls to print non-printable characters
                 Key: HADOOP-13079
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13079
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: John Zhuge
            Assignee: John Zhuge


Add option {{-q}} to "hdfs dfs -ls" to print non-printable characters as "?". 
Non-printable characters are defined by 
[isprint(3)|http://linux.die.net/man/3/isprint] according to the current locale.

Default to {{-q}} behavior on terminal; otherwise, print raw characters. See 
the difference in these 2 command lines:
* {{hadoop fs -ls /dir}}
* {{hadoop fs -ls /dir | od -c}}

In C, {{isatty(STDOUT_FILENO)}} is used to find out whether the output is a 
terminal. Since Java doesn't have {{isatty}}, I will use JNI to call C 
{{isatty()}} because the closest test {{System.console() == null}} does not 
work in some cases.
