[~yzhangal] Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for pointing this out. I almost 
missed this!

Omkar: if ADL doesn't implement the distcp contract test, you might want to 
follow up this patch with a distcp test that forces the use of the concat 
operation.

[~steve_l] I will look into this.

> 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)
