This possibility is not present right now (except about the HDFS trash if you disable it).

 

What would be the use case?

Hi, the usecase is:

I've suddenly deleted 500 GB of data.

By default hadoop fs -rm moves data to trash.

"Delete forever" is extremely dangerous functionality. I want to block it. If somebody wants to delete something forever I want him to go to trash and do it explicitly.
