Rodrigo Schmidt commented on HADOOP-5826:
-----------------------------------------
There are already two tests and two error messages that cover this case:
- If basedir is not a prefix of the source (which will probably happen if it
doesn't exist), it'll print: "Basedir [dir] is not a prefix of source path
[src]"
- If basedir is a prefix but is not a directory, it'll print: "Basedir [dir] is
not a directory"
Adding a new error message for the case where the directory doesn't exist looks
like a redundant test given the first error case.
> distcp could have an option to preserve the full source path

> It would be helpful to have an option that preserves the full source path
> when copying files from one location to another. This is specially important
> when archiving/moving files from one cluster to another one.
