Yongjun Zhang commented on HADOOP-11794:
----------------------------------------

Thanks [~omkarksa].

I chose the other method because the following one is marked as Deprecated. Not 
sure why it was, it seems a convenient API to exist.
{code}
  /**
   * Same as this(NameNode.getNNAddress(conf), conf);
   * @see #DFSClient(InetSocketAddress, Configuration)
   * @deprecated Deprecated at 0.21
   */
  @Deprecated
  public DFSClient(Configuration conf) throws IOException {
    this(DFSUtilClient.getNNAddress(conf), conf);
  }
{code}

About other file systems, I did not get to test various file systems with this 
patch (except for DistributedFileSystem), we could follow-up with new jira to 
relax the file system requirement, and add corresponding tests for the 
corresponding file system?

Hi [~atm], I will address the most recent comments since you reviewed last 
time. Would you please take a look at rev8 to see if you have additional 
comments?

Thanks a lot.

> The minimum unit of work for a distcp task is a file. We have files that are 
> greater than 1 TB with a block size of  1 GB. If we use distcp to copy these 
> files, the tasks either take a long long long time or finally fails. A better 
> way for distcp would be to copy all the source blocks in parallel, and then 
> stich the blocks back to files at the destination via the HDFS Concat API 
> (HDFS-222)
