Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-6051:
------------------------------------------------
No one should use distcp to copy a single file anymore! Just kidding ... we
have to fix this. :)
> distcp does not skip copying file if we are updating single file

> Key: HADOOP-6051
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6051
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tools/distcp
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0
> Reporter: Ravi Gummadi
> Fix For: 0.21.0
>
>
> distcp doesn't skip copying file when we do -update on single file if the
> destfile already exists.
> When we do
> hadoop distcp -update srcfilename destfilename
> it seems to be comparing checksums of srcfilename and
> destfilename/srcfilename and so skip is not done. It should compare checksums
> of srcfilename and destfilename.
