[jira] [Commented] (ZOOKEEPER-1326) The CLI commands "delete" and "rmr" are confusing. Can we have "rm" + "rmr" instead?

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1326?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13167195#comment-13167195 ]

@Harsh,
 Good point. A backwards compatible patch is welcome.

> ZOOKEEPER-729 introduced 'rmr' for recursive 'delete' operations on a given node. Going by the unix convention, wouldn't it be much better if we were to have an 'rm' if there was an 'rmr' added?
> The current set is confusing. Or should we have 'delete' and 'deleteall' or summat?
> I know this is a nitpick, but I just dislike to see bad keywords used for commands.
> I'm OK to produce a backwards-compatible patch if this is acceptable.
