How to delete a directory from Hadoop cluster which is having comma in its name

0 votes
I have created a directory in hadoop that is having "," in its name like "SampleDir, Name". But, when I am trying to delete this Directory by using rmr hadoop shell command as following

hadoop dfs -rmr hdfs://host:port/User/SampleDir, Name
I'm getting the following error

rmr: cannot remove hdfs://host:port/User/SampleDir: No such file or directory. rmr: cannot remove Name: No such file or directory.

But I didn't face any issues while deleting other directories from the same location, using the same command i.e.

hadoop dfs -rmr hdfs://host:port/dir_path
Can anyone tell me the way how to delete such kind of directories?

Thanks in advance!

Just try the following command:

hadoop fs -rm -r hdfs://host:port/User/SampleDir\,\ Name

I hope it will work.
