Description

When using fully qualified URIs with FsShell, the authority element of the URI must match the default filesystem exactly, or else one may get an error message when the trash is enabled:

$ hadoop fs -rmr hdfs://namenode1/user/foo/bar
rmr: Wrong FS: hdfs://namenode1/user/foo/bar, expected: hdfs://namenode1.foobar.com
Usage: java FsShell [-rmr <path>]
$ hadoop fs -rmr hdfs://namenode1.foobar.com/user/foo/bar
$

It should be possible to use the FileSystem for the Path provided rather than the default FileSystem. 0.17 was less particular about this.
