Description

On http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsDesign.html#File_Deletes_and_Undeletes the section on trash refers to files residing in /trash.

I think this is an error, as files actually go to user specific trash directories like /user/hdfs/.Trash

Either the site needs to be updated to mention user specific directories, or if this is a change from previous behaviour then maybe that can be mentioned instead.
