> Currently DFSShell does not support file patterns in dfs file names. It's quite inconvenient for users when they need to manipulate multiple files.
> This issue is intended to extend DFSShell to interprete file patterns. A file pattern contains special special pattern matching characters:
> ?: matches any character
> *: matches zero or more characters
> [abc]: matches a character from character set {a, b, c}
> [a-c]: matches a character from character range: {a...c}
> [^a]: matches a character not in character set or range {a}
> \c:  escape any special meaning of character c
