Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-5826:
--------------------------------------
That seems to be doable by user of distcp like :
hadoop fs -mkdir dest:/d/a/b (copying properties of a and b from source, if
possible)
hadoop distcp src:/a/b/c dest:/d/a/b
If we want to add this feature, I think it is better not to use '-p' for this.
'-p' by convention implies preserving properties of each file.. it would be
confusing if it also created these paths.
> distcp could have an option to preserve the full source path
