Deleting a directory with comma throwing an error

0 votes

By mistake I have uploaded a directory in HDFS which is containing a comma. When I am trying to delete the same I am getting the error saying

Cannot remove hdfs://host:port/Test/abc,dir: No such file or directory. rmr: cannot remove Name: No such file or directory.

But earlier I was using the same command to delete the directories and it was working fine.

hadoop dfs -rmr hdfs://host:port/dir_path

Can anyone help me out with this problem

As comma is an escape sequence character, so you should use ‘\’ before the comma.

Try "hadoop dfs -rmr hdfs://host:port/Test/abc\,dir"
