>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12374
>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: documentation, trash
>    Affects Versions: 2.7.0, 2.7.1
>            Reporter: Weiwei Yang
>            Assignee: Weiwei Yang
>            Priority: Trivial
>              Labels: docuentation, suggestions, trash
>
> Usage: hadoop fs -expunge
> Empty the Trash. Refer to the HDFS Architecture Guide for more information on the Trash feature.
> this description is confusing. It gives user the impression that this command will empty trash, but actually it only removes old checkpoints. If user sets a pretty long value for fs.trash.interval, this command will not remove anything until checkpoints exist longer than this value.
