Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-8906:
----------------------------------------------
The current behavior does seem kind of... odd.
{code}
cmccabe@keter:/h> ./bin/hadoop fs -mkdir -p /a/b/c
cmccabe@keter:/h> ./bin/hadoop fs -ls '/*'

I think we need a good unit test for this more than anything else.

> Let's say we have have a structure of "$date/$user/stuff/file". Multiple
> globs are unreliable unless every directory in the structure exists.
> These work:
> date*/user
> date*/user/stuff
> date*/user/stuff/file
> These fail:
> date*/user/*
> date*/user/*/*
> date*/user/stu*
> date*/user/stu*/*
> date*/user/stu*/file
> date*/user/stuff/*
> date*/user/stuff/f*
