> FileSystem has the API
> *public void copyFromLocalFile(boolean delSrc, boolean overwrite, Path[]
> srcs, Path dst)*
>
>
> This API provides overwrite option. But the mapping command line doesn't have
> this option. To maintain the consistency and better usage the command line
> option also can support the overwrite option like to put the files
> forcefully. ( put [-f] <srcpath> <dstPath>) and also for copyFromLocal
> command line option.
