Description

-sh-4.1$ hadoop fs -ls /user/chrili/books/84*
Found 1 items
-rw-r--r--   3 chrili gid-chrili     142382 2014-02-25 18:30 /user/chrili/books/844.other
Found 1 items
-rwxr-xr-x   3 chrili gid-chrili     142382 2013-09-24 10:47 /user/chrili/books/844.txt.utf-8

This behavior is new to 2.0. In 1.X it would not print this at all:

-sh-4.1$ hadoop fs -ls /user/chrili/books/84*
-rw-r--r--   3 chrili gid-chrili     142382 2014-02-25 18:30 /user/chrili/books/844.other
-rwxr-xr-x   3 chrili gid-chrili     142382 2013-09-24 10:47 /user/chrili/books/844.txt.utf-8

We can workaround this today by filtering with grep first, but I don't think this is the sort of thing that should be printed to stdout in the first place. Seems like it would be more appropriate to output to stderr.
