[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-12290) hadoop fs -ls command returns
inconsistent results with wildcards
Xiaoyu Yao created HADOOP-12290:
-----------------------------------
Summary: hadoop fs -ls command returns inconsistent results with wildcards
Key: HADOOP-12290
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12290
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Xiaoyu Yao
I cannot find any document for wildcard support for "hadoop fs -ls" cmd and the expected behavior. So I did some experiments and got inconsistent results below. This looks like a bug to me. But if we don't support wildcard for "hadoop fs -ls", we should at least document it.
On a single node cluster with "fs.default.name" configured as hdfs://localhost:9000.
Root without wildcard: HDFS only.
{code}
$ hdfs dfs -ls /
