[jira] [Commented] (OOZIE-1899) Improve the documentation for the FS action's glob feature

["Robert Kanter (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1899?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14511422#comment-14511422 ] 

Robert Kanter commented on OOZIE-1899:
--------------------------------------

The syntax is just what FileSystem's glob method allows (Oozie just forwards it unmodified).  The javadocs for that are here:
https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html#globStatus(org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path)

> We should add some more detail to the documentation on the FS action's glob feature.  It currently just says this:
> {quote}
> In case of move , delete , chmod and chgrp commands, a glob pattern can also be specified instead of an absolute path. For move , glob pattern can only be specified for source path and not the target.
> {quote}
> The user has no idea how to specify a glob pattern after reading this.  An example would be nice too.
> Also, {{oozie.action.fs.glob.max}} in oozie-site/default is supposed to let you specify how many files can be matched against the glob pattern.  This isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation and isn't even in oozie-site or oozie-default.  It should be added to oozie-default.xml and mentioned in the docs.
