------------------------------------------------

> But the problem here seems to be it is not comparing the filesizes and 
> checksums of srcfile and destfile. distcp seems to be comparing srcfile with 
> the path destfile/srcfile(i.e. srcfile in destfile directory), which is wrong.

According to to doc, "hadoop distcp -update foo bar" means copying foo to 
bar/foo, but not copying foo to bar.  Could you check it?

> distcp does not skip copying file if we are updating single file

> 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.
