Description

hadoop fs -ls dirname lists the paths in the following manner:

dirname\file1
dirname\file2

Basically, dirname is repeated. This is slightly confusing because you get an impression that there's a dirname directory under the specified input

In contrast, the native ls command doesn't do this.

When given a glob as input, the native ls command prints it out as follows:

dirname1:
file1

dirname2:
file1
