Delete a folder name containing *
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 ?
Regards
Praveenesh

just to be sure, try this one too:
hadoop fs -rmr /data/"folder\*"

Re: Delete a folder name containing *
Posted by dileep kumar <di...@gmail.com>.
Try
hadoop fs -mv /data/folder*/* <new folder>
Now you have only /data/folder*. and all data under /data/folder* will be
moved to new folder ,then delete /data/folder*.Not sure if it works. just
make a try.

Try
hadoop fs -mv /data/folder*/* <new folder>
Now you have only /data/folder*. and all data under /data/folder* will be
moved to new folder ,then delete /data/folder*.Not sure if it works. just
make a try.

With renaming - you would use the mv command "hadoop fs -mv /data/folder*

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 ?
Regards
Praveenesh

Move it to some tmp directory and delete parent directory.
