distcp should place the file distcp_src_files in distributed cache
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6072
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6072
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tools/distcp
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0
            Reporter: Ravi Gummadi
             Fix For: 0.21.0


When large number of files are being copied by distcp, accessing 
distcp_src_files seems to be an issue, as all map tasks would be accessing this 
file. The error message seen is:

09/06/16 10:13:16 INFO mapred.JobClient: Task Id : 
attempt_200906040559_0110_m_003348_0, Status : FAILED

This could be because of HADOOP-6038 and/or HADOOP-4681.

If distcp places this special file distcp_src_files in distributed cache, that 
could solve the problem.
