Mingliang Liu commented on HADOOP-12473:
----------------------------------------
Thanks for your comment. I also think the point was missed in the current
patch. I'll revise why {{-i}} for ignoring failures and {{-atomic}} for atomic
commit are mutually exclusive. Any comment by [~jira.shegalov] is highly
appreciated.
> distcp's ignoring failures option should be mutually exclusive with the
> atomic option

> In {{CopyMapper::handleFailure}}, the mapper handles failure and will ignore
> it if no it's config key is on. Ignoring failures option {{-i}} should be
> mutually exclusive with the {{-atomic}} option otherwise an incomplete dir is
> eligible for commit defeating the purpose.
