Bertrand Dechoux created HADOOP-8791: ----------------------------------------
Summary: rm "Only deletes non empty directory and files." Key: HADOOP-8791 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8791 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: documentation Affects Versions: 1.0.3 Reporter: Bertrand Dechoux 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
