>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.1

> I had a very strange experience today with the bin/hadoop dfs -mv command. I accidentally passed 3 parameters, like so:
> {code}
> bin/hadoop dfs -mv /1 /2 /3
> {code}
> My intent was to mv /1 to /3, but mis-pasted some stuff. However, to my surprise, the result I got was that /1 had been moved to /2, and /2 had then been moved to /3! This seems like totally confusing semantics - I would have expected a 3-parameter move to either ignore the 3rd parameter or error out altogether. Needless to say, a solid 10 minutes of confused scrambling commenced.
