Nice @nickwallen! Just verified the -f on the -put totally works. And for
fun, I looked at the hadoop code and you can see the
[-copyFromLocal](https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/948b75807068c304ffe789e32f2b850c0d653e0a/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/shell/CopyCommands.java#L290)
is just an alias for put now...
```java
public static class CopyFromLocal extends Put {
public static final String NAME = "copyFromLocal";
public static final String USAGE = Put.USAGE;
public static final String DESCRIPTION = "Identical to the -put
command.";
}
```
And the [-put
](https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/948b75807068c304ffe789e32f2b850c0d653e0a/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/shell/CopyCommands.java#L231)supports
all kinds of nice undocumented flags...
```java
public static class Put extends CommandWithDestination {
public static final String NAME = "put";
public static final String USAGE =
"[-f] [-p] [-l] [-d] <localsrc> ... <dst>";
public static final String DESCRIPTION =
"Copy files from the local file system " +
"into fs. Copying fails if the file already " +
"exists, unless the -f flag is given.\n" +
"Flags:\n" +
" -p : Preserves access and modification times, ownership and the
mode.\n" +
" -f : Overwrites the destination if it already exists.\n" +
" -l : Allow DataNode to lazily persist the file to disk. Forces\n" +
" replication factor of 1. This flag will result in reduced\n" +
" durability. Use with care.\n" +
" -d : Skip creation of temporary file(<dst>._COPYING_).\n";
```
I've updated this PR to use the -f instead of the ignore_errors, but it
looks like Nick already has the fix in his other branch. Up to you guys on if
you want to close this and/or wait for the other
[commit](https://github.com/nickwallen/incubator-metron/commit/24e3688326d4764e7ef69cec9a7d9e1a40bafe46)
to make its way over.
