> Enhance distcp to handle *http* as a 'source protocol'.
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-341
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-341
> Project: Hadoop
> Type: Improvement
> Components: util
> Reporter: Arun C Murthy
> Attachments: distcp.patch, distcp2.patch
>
> Requirements:
> Presently distcp recursively copies a directory from one dfs to another
> i.e. both source and destination of of the *dfs* protocol.
> Enhance it to handle *http* as the source protocol i.e. support copying
> files from arbitrary http-based sources into the dfs.
> Design:
>
> Follow distcp's current design: one map task per file which needs to be
> copied.
> Caveat: distcp handles *recursive* copying by listing sub-directories; this
> is not as feasible with a http-based source since things like
> 'fancy-indexing' might not be enabled on the web-server (for all
> sub-locations recursively too), and even if it is enabled it will mean
> tedious parsing of the html served to glean the sub-directories etc. Hence
> the idea is to support an input file (via a -f option) which contains a list
> of the http-based urls which represent multiple source files.
