----------------------------------
Thank you for the quick reply, [~steve_l]. I will read HADOOP-9565, it sounds
interesting.
> Avoid creating "._COPYING_" temporary file when copying file to Swift file
> system
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-12046
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12046
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: fs/swift
> Affects Versions: 2.7.0
> Reporter: Chen He
> Assignee: Chen He
>
> When copy file from HDFS or local to another file system implementation, in
> CommandWithDestination.java, it creates a temp file by adding suffix
> "._COPYING_". Once file is successfully copied, it will remove the suffix by
> rename().
> try {
> PathData tempTarget = target.suffix("._COPYING_");
> targetFs.setWriteChecksum(writeChecksum);
> targetFs.writeStreamToFile(in, tempTarget, lazyPersist);
> targetFs.rename(tempTarget, target);
> } finally {
> targetFs.close(); // last ditch effort to ensure temp file is removed
> }
> It is not costly in HDFS. However, if copy to Swift file system, the rename
> process is to create a new file. It is not efficient if users copy a lot of
> files to swift file system. I did some tests, for a 1G file copying to swift,
> it will take 10% more time. We should only do the copy one time for Swift
> file system. Changes should be limited to the Swift driver level.
