I have a file in HDFS named AccountManager_S00B26_291141_NBMorbidity_2018-10-0201_17_32.258_TriggerFile.txt



2018-10-0201_17_32.258 in the above file name is random that needs to be ignored while deleting.



I tried the below code. But, It didn't work



    val hadoopConf = new Configuration()
val hdfs = FileSystem.get(hadoopConf)
val src = new Path("AccountManager_S00B26_291141_NBMorbidity_{[0-9_.-]}*_TriggerFile.txt")
hdfs.delete(src,true)

  • You'll need to list all files of the parent directory, iterate, check, then delete the matches. Path doesn't accept patterns

  • Any other simple way to delete such files?

    Not really. You're already getting the filesystem, and there's just one method you're missing to list all files
