dfs rm and rmr commands differ from POSIX standards ---------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2193 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2193 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: dfs Affects Versions: 0.15.1, 0.16.0 Reporter: Mukund Madhugiri Fix For: 0.16.0 Assuming the dfs commands follow POSIX standards, there are some problems with the DFS rm and rmr commands. I compared the DFS output with that of RHEL 4u5: In both cases, if the file/directory does not exist, it will not give any indication to the user. 1. rm a file/directory that does not exist: Linux: rm: cannot remove `testarea/two': No such file or directory DFS: rm: /testarea/two 2. rmr a file/directory that does not exist: Linux: rm: cannot remove `testarea/two': No such file or directory DFS: rm: /testarea/two -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
