Ravi Gummadi commented on HADOOP-6051:
--------------------------------------

I just saw that the doc says something different from what I understood. But 
distcp -update works as I mentioned only. I rechecked now after looking at the 
doc.
For the case of               distcp -update foo/a foo/b bar      mentioned in 
the doc, the effect of the command is  creating   bar/a/aa   bar/a/ab   
bar/b/ba abd bar/b/bb.

I guess we need to change the doc. OR Do we really need to change the behaviour 
of distcp ?

> 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.
