[resolved] not able to delete hdfs files using tHDFSDelete

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I am trying to delete hdfs files from a folder using the tHDFSDelete component. But it does not seem to work as it should.
I have job tHDFSList->iterate->THDFSDelete.
But the files are not deleted from the directory.
Thanks,
rhp

any error? Which version of Talend Studio? Which Hadoop distribution?

There is no error. Talend enterprise ver 5.6.1 and hadoop is hortonworks 2.1. If i specify the directory it deletes or if i specify the individual file then it deletes. But not when i used tHDFSList_1.CURRENTFILEPATH.

It works now. I gave the filemask pattern as "*.extension". Thanks for your help.
