Rodrigo Schmidt commented on HADOOP-5826:
-----------------------------------------
Another possibility is something like a basedir (-b) option that tells distcp
what is the prefix of the source path that should be used as the base directory
for copying.
distcp -b /a /a/b/c /d
would create file /d/b/c
distcp -b / /a/b/c /d
would creaet file /d/a/b/c
this is more general than the original proposition.
> distcp could have an option to preserve the full source path
