Vinayakumar B commented on HADOOP-11120:
----------------------------------------

I believe you might have got the full error message as below
{noformat}rm: Unknown command
Did you mean -rm?  This command begins with a dash.{noformat}

I feel its correct. ''rmr" and "rm" are commands. And to use any commands with 
fsshell we should prefix them with '-'.


> hadoop fs -rmr gives wrong advice
