Harsh J commented on HADOOP-7361:
---------------------------------
Uma,
Check out this TODO item in the new class CommandWithDestination (which
encapsulates copyFromLocal and put commands amongst others). Maybe just
implementing this option to be processed should now be sufficient, since I see
the variable being used in the rest of the class.
{code:title=CommandWithDestination.java|borderStyle=solid}
// TODO: commands should implement a -f to enable this
protected void setOverwrite(boolean flag) {
overwrite = flag;
}
{code}
> Provide overwrite option (-overwrite/-f) in put and copyFromLocal command
> line options

> 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.
