Sameer Paranjpye reassigned HADOOP-431:

Assignee: Sameer Paranjpye (was: Wendy Chien)
> default behaviour of dfsShell -rm should resemble 'rm -i', not 'rm -rf'
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-431
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-431
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.5.0
> Reporter: Yoram Arnon
> Assigned To: Sameer Paranjpye
>
> when using hadoop dfs -rm <path> the behaviour is like that of rm -rf.
> That's very dangerous.
> A better behaviour would require a confirmation and allow removal of files only by default. Optional flags would allow recursive and forced deleted.
