             Summary: Adding confirm prompt when removing root directory on local filesystem
                 Key: HDFS-16360
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-16360
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Yayu Wang


Would you like to add a confirm prompt when removing the root directory, especially when using local filesystem? I forgot to set fs.defaultFS and executed `rm -r /*` and it deleted everything on my local system. I lost everything under my $HOME directory, and I think a sudo user may destroy the host by doing so.
