[jira] [Updated] (HDFS-11111) Delete something in .Trash using
"rm" should be forbidden without safety option
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11111?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Ravi Prakash updated HDFS-11111:
--------------------------------
Description:
As we discussed in HDFS-11102, double confirmation does not seem to be a graceful solution for users. Deleting files in .Trash accidentally is still an issue though. The behaviour of users I'm worried about is {{rm}}ing something in .Trash (without explicitly understanding that those files will not be recoverable). This is in contrast to {{rm}}ing something with "-skipTrash" option (That's a very purposeful action).
So it is not the same case as HADOOP-12358. The solution is throwing an exception and remind user to add "-trash" option to delete dirs in trash for safely:
{code}
Can not delete somehing trash directly! Please add "-trash" or "-T" in "rm" command to do that.
{code}

As we discussed in HDFS-11102, double confirmation seems not a graceful solution for user. But deleting trash files unexpected is till an incident issue. The behaviour of user I worried is rm something in trash, not rm something out trash with "skipTrash" option(That's a very purposeful action).
So it is not the same case with HADOOP-12358. The solution is throwing an exception and remind user to add "-trash" option to delete dirs in trash for safely:
{code}
Can not delete somthing in trash directly! Please add "-trash" or "-T" in "rm" command to do that.
