Description

Logcondense script is not able to delete the completed job directories of hadoop logs in hod-logs inside HDFS for the the users , whose username has any of the characters , in the value passed to "-l" options or in '/user' as set default . This happened because logcondense script use python 'lstrip' method , which returns copy of the string after removing leading characters in the value passed to "-l" options or in "/user" instead of just stripping value from the given string .
