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
