Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8963:
-------------------------------------
I'd consider immediately setting the dst to be the srcName when dst is the cwd.
This will should save you another loop through checkDest.
> CopyFromLocal doesn't always create user directory

> When you use the command "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename ." before the
> /user/username directory has been created, the file is created with name
> /user/username instead of a directory being created with file
> /user/username/filename. The command "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename
> filename" works as expected, creating /user/username and
> /user/username/filename, and "hadoop fs -copyFromLocal filename ." works as
> expected if the /user/username directory already exists.
