             Summary: DistCp diff option support for snapshot root descendant 
directories
                 Key: HADOOP-14983
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14983
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Manoj Govindassamy
            Assignee: Manoj Govindassamy


HDFS-12544 enables SnapshotDiff generation on any snapshot root descendant 
directory. Previous to this, all snapshot diff operations had to be based on 
snapshot root directory. DistCp already supports update diff option by which 
snapshot diff report between any given two snapshots can be used to identify 
the difference between source and target, and apply the diff to the target to 
make it in sync with source. But, the snapshot source and target paths need to 
be a snapshot root directory for the diff option to work.

{noformat}
DistCp -update -diff <oldSnapshot> <newSnapshot> <source-snapshot-root-dir> 
<target-snapshot-root-dir>
{noformat}

Better if DistCp can also support update diff option on any descendant 
directories under snapshot root, provided HDFS-12544 is enabled.
