---------------------------------------

    Assignee: Peeyush Bishnoi

Example for 'lstrip' illustration :

Suppose there is file on HDFS :

> filename='/user/shum/test.txt'

we need to strip off the '/user' from filename ,

> filename=filename.lstrip('/user')

if we print the above statement , the output would be :

> hum/test.txt

instead of

> shum/test.txt

here lstrip method has strip off value and produce the incorrect output .

So we need to use len method for correct strip off the value.

> filename=filename[len('/user'):]

output of above statement would be :

> /shum/test.txt

> Logcondense script is not able to delete the hod-logs inside HDFS  for the the users , whose username has any of the characters , in the value passed to "-l" options  or in '/user' as set default . This happened because logcondense script use python 'lstrip' method , which returns copy of the string after removing leading characters in the value passed to "-l" options or in "/user" instead of just stripping value from the given string .
