Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-5671:
-----------------------------------------

Based on the documentation of the method {{FileSystem.getFileChecksum()}}, not 
supporting checksum is indicated by {{null}} return and *not* by throwing 
exception. So should we ensure the classes extending {{FileSystem}} honor this?

> DistCp.sameFile(..) should return true if src fs does not support checksum
