Escape character is \, but please enclose with single quote
For example /foo/{123} should be '/foo/\{123\}'

Hi team
I am in weird situation where I have following HDFS sample folders
/data/folder/
/data/folder*
/data/folder_day
/data/folder_day/monday
/data/folder/1
/data/folder/2
I want to delete /data/folder* without deleting its sub_folders. If I do hadoop
fs -rmr /data/folder* it will delete everything which I want to avoid. I tried
with escape character \ but HDFS FS shell is not taking it. Any hints/tricks ?
