Jing Zhao updated HADOOP-8791:
------------------------------

    Attachment: HADOOP-8791-trunk.patch
                HADOOP-8791-branch-1.patch

So I did the two patches for branch-1 and trunk for Bertrand. Thanks for the finding Bertrand!

> The documentation (1.0.3) is describing the opposite of what rm does.
> It should be  "Only delete files and empty directories."
> With regards to file, the size of the file should not matter, should it?
> OR I am totally misunderstanding the semantic of this command and I am not the only one.
