Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-13282:
-----------------------------------------
I think that checksum preservation is all about HDFS, certainly its where it
crops up...there are enums of checksum options and things. I'm avoiding it for
now
> S3 blob etags to be made visible in status/getFileChecksum() calls

> If the etags of blobs were exported via {{getFileChecksum()}}, it'd be
> possible to probe for a blob being in sync with a local file. Distcp could
> use this to decide whether to skip a file or not.
> Now, there's a problem there: distcp needs source and dest filesystems to
> implement the same algorithm. It'd only work out the box if you were copying
> between S3 instances. There are also quirks with encryption and multipart:
> [s3
> docs|http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTCommonResponseHeaders.html].
> At the very least, it's something which could be used when indexing the FS,
> to check for changes later.
