Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE updated HADOOP-3981:
-------------------------------------------
Release Note:
Implemented MD5-of-xxxMD5-of-yyyCRC32 which is a distributed file checksum
algorithm for HDFS, where xxx is the number of CRCs per block and yyy is the
number of bytes per CRC.
Changed DistCp to use file checksum for comparing files if both source and
destination FileSystem(s) support getFileChecksum(...).
> Need a distributed file checksum algorithm for HDFS

> Traditional message digest algorithms, like MD5, SHA1, etc., require reading
> the entire input message sequentially in a central location. HDFS supports
> large files with multiple tera bytes. The overhead of reading the entire
> file is huge. A distributed file checksum algorithm is needed for HDFS.
