[jira] [Created] (HDFS-13016) globStatus javadoc refers to glob
pattern as "regular expression"
Ryanne Dolan created HDFS-13016:
-----------------------------------
Summary: globStatus javadoc refers to glob pattern as "regular expression"
Key: HDFS-13016
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13016
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation, hdfs
Reporter: Ryanne Dolan
Priority: Trivial
Glob patterns are not regular expressions. Both are well-defined and universally understood concepts. The term "regular expression" is misapplied here.
The method name "globStatus" indicates that pathPattern should be a glob, but the javadoc says pathPattern is a regular expression. The documentation goes on to describe the accepted format of pathPattern and clearly describes globs.
The term "regular expression" should not be associated with pathPattern.
