Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-5762:
------------------------------------------------
> What about using fileCount for that and just add empty directories to it?
fileCount is also used for the -filelimit option which does not include dirs.
For creating directories, we don't really need a job. Why don't we make these
directories during setup? i.e. mkdir instead of appending them to
src_writer/dst_writer. What do you think?
> distcp does not copy empty directories
