Description
This is related to HDFS-12484, but turns out that even if I have super user permission, -expunge may not remove trash either.
If I log into Linux as root, and then login as the superuser hdfs@EXAMPLE.COM

expunge does not remove trash under /scale, because it does not know I am 'hdfs' user.
DistributedFileSystem#getTrashRoots
Path ezTrashRoot = new Path(it.next().getPath(), FileSystem.TRASH_PREFIX); if (!exists(ezTrashRoot)) { continue; } if (allUsers) { for (FileStatus candidate : listStatus(ezTrashRoot)) { if (exists(candidate.getPath())) { ret.add(candidate); } } } else { Path userTrash = new Path(ezTrashRoot, System.getProperty( "user.name")); --> bug try { ret.add(getFileStatus(userTrash)); } catch (FileNotFoundException ignored) { } }
It should use UGI for user name, rather than system login user name.
