[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-431) default behaviour of dfsShell -rm
should resemble 'rm -i', not 'rm -rf'
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-431?page=all ]
Sameer Paranjpye updated HADOOP-431:
------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress)
Fix Version/s: 0.7.0
Affects Version/s: 0.6.2
(was: 0.5.0)
This patch changes the behavior of 'dfs -rm' and makes it behave like UNIX 'rm'. 'dfs -rm' no longer removes directories. It also adds a new command 'dfs -rmr' which recursively removes directories. Both 'dfs -rm' and 'dfs -rmr' will remove files.

> 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.
