Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. HDFS file names, special characters, hidden files... I think I've got this. *rubs hands together*

Ugh, this is the kind of question that makes me wish I had a cheat sheet handy. I'm going to have to rely on my instincts and pray I don't mess this up.

I don't know, I kind of like these types of questions. It shows they're really testing our understanding of the underlying system. I'm going to give it my best shot.

Oh man, I hate questions like this! It's like they're testing our knowledge of HDFS arcane rules rather than our actual skills. Can't they just ask us something more straightforward?

Hmm, I think it's a valid question, but it feels a bit like they're trying to trip us up with the file naming conventions. I'm going to have to really think this through.
