-----------------------------------

Hi [~tedyu]
What is expected to do when deletion returns false? an error log, or few more retries?

> Toward the cleanupBulkLoad() method:
> {code}
>     fs.delete(new Path(request.getBulkToken()), true);
> {code}
> The return value from delete() call is ignore, potentially leading to file lying around after the cleanup.
> This applies to all branches.
> Discovered when investigating bulk load test failure.
