[jira] [Comment Edited] (HBASE-18801) Bulk load cleanup may falsely deem file deletion successful

["Ted Yu (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

It is not easy to know the cause of inability to delete the file based on boolean return.

For now, IOException can be thrown when false is returned and the file exists.

> Toward the cleanupBulkLoad() method:
> {code}
>     fs.delete(new Path(request.getBulkToken()), true);
> {code}
> The return value from delete() call is ignore, potentially leading to file lying around after the cleanup.
> This applies to all branches.
> Discovered when investigating bulk load test failure.
