Matt Foley commented on HADOOP-7326:
------------------------------------

In HADOOP-7284, Todd observes that TestTrash is "supposed to set up a 
LocalFileSystem subclass (TestLFS) that responded with a directory inside 
build/ as a home dir".  Seems like that would be a good way to get around this 
silliness with shared .Trash directory.  It looks like the current 
implementation is deficient.  I'll look into fixing it.

> TestTrash.testTrashEmptier() infinite loops if run on a home directory with 
> stuff in .Trash

> This bug was discovered while investigating HDFS-1967, intermittent failure 
> of TestHDFSTrash, which calls TestTrash.  If the user id running the test has 
> a ~/.Trash directory that already has 4 or more files in it, a loop in 
> TestTrash.testTrashEmptier() will never terminate, because it is waiting for 
> the count of objects to increase from zero to exactly three (and it creates 
> one object right away).
