How to Delete a directory from Hadoop cluster which is having comma(,) in its name?
I have uploaded a Directory to hadoop cluster that is having "," in its name like "MyDir, Name" when I am trying to delete this Directory by using rmr hadoop shell command as following
hadoop dfs -rmr hdfs://host:port/Navi/MyDir, Name
I'm getting the following messages rmr: cannot remove hdfs://host:port/Navi/MyDir,: No such file or directory. rmr: cannot remove Name: No such file or directory.
However I have successfully deleted other Directories from the same location, using the same command i.e.
hadoop dfs -rmr hdfs://host:port/dir_path
any solutions to delete such kind of Directories.
Have you tried :
hadoop dfs -rmr hdfs://host:port/Navi/MyDir\,\ Name
?
Or if you dont know the url, you can use
hadoop fs -rm -r -f /user/the/path/to/your/dir
hdfs dfs -rm -r /path/to/directory
Run the command in the terminal
$hadoop fs -rm -r /path/to/directory
