> Ravi commented about this on HADOOP-6536. Paraphrasing...
> Currently FileUtil.fullyDelete(myDir) comes out stopping deletion of other files/directories
if it is unable to delete a file/dir(say because of not having permissions to delete that
file/dir) anywhere under myDir. This is because we return from method if the recursive call
"if(!fullyDelete()) {return false;}" fails at any level of recursion.
> Shouldn't it continue with deletion of other files/dirs continuing in the for loop instead
of returning false here ?
> I guess fullyDelete() should delete as many files as possible(similar to 'rm -rf').
