Stephen Fritz created HDFS-4821: ----------------------------------- Summary: It's possible to create files with special characters in the filenames, but 'hadoop fs -ls' gives no indication Key: HDFS-4821 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4821 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: hdfs-client Reporter: Stephen Fritz
For example: -bash-4.1$ hadoop fs -mkdir /user/hdfs -bash-4.1$ hadoop fs -touchz /user/hdfs/dupfile -bash-4.1$ hadoop fs -touchz /user/hdfs/dupfile^M -bash-4.1$ hadoop fs -ls /user/hdfs Found 2 items -rw-r--r-- 3 hdfs supergroup 0 2013-05-14 07:13 /user/hdfs/dupfile -rw-r--r-- 3 hdfs supergroup 0 2013-05-14 07:13 /user/hdfs/dupfile By way of comparison, bash will print a '?' at the end of the file name, indicating there's a special character in the filename, which isn't perfect but at least gives an indication that there's more to the filename than just alphanumeric characters -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
