Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8788: ------------------------------------- Yes, the ls command currently works more like find. It'll be an incompatible change which is why I didn't fix it during the shell overhaul, but I think it would be a good change so long as a find command is also added. > hadoop fs -ls can print file paths according to the native ls command > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8788 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8788 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala > Priority: Minor > > hadoop fs -ls dirname lists the paths in the following manner: > dirname\file1 > dirname\file2 > Basically, dirname is repeated. This is slightly confusing because you get an > impression that there's a dirname directory under the specified input > In contrast, the native ls command doesn't do this. > When given a glob as input, the native ls command prints it out as follows: > dirname1: > file1 > dirname2: > file1 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
