-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

Thanks Aman! Steve is right. You do need to use quotes when there is already a file on the local file system which would match the wildcard

> If you have following directories in your LOCAL file system 
> /data/hadoop/sample/00/contents1.txt
> /data/hadoop/sample/01/contents2.txt
> and following directories in hdfs : 
> /data/hadoop/sample/00/contents1.txt
> /data/hadoop/sample/01/contents2.txt
> /data/hadoop/sample/02/contents3.txt
> suppose you run the following hdfs ls command:
> hdfs dfs -ls -R /data/hadoop/sample/*
> the paths that are printed have a reference to local paths, and only 00 & 01 directories get listed. 
> this happens only when wildcard ( * ) character is used in input paths.
