Owen O'Malley updated HADOOP-1533: ---------------------------------- Status: Open (was: Patch Available) This patch seems confused whether the "log path" is a Path, URI, or a String. Since you are implementing it as the output of the Map (with reduces = 0), it pretty clearly must be a Path. It should be coded as such. Instead of requiring a parameter for the log path, I think it should be an option like: ... - log hdfs://server:1234/my/log and I'd propose that the default be: "$output_dir/_distcp_logs" That will work well in most cases and keep the output/logs together. The chunk of code that looks like: + String logURL = "hdfs://" + fsConfig.get("fs.default.name", "local") + + archiveDirectory + "distcpLogDir." + System.currentTimeMillis(); is problematic, since it won't construct useful urls in a wide variety of values for fs.default.name. > Distcp should log to specified location > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1533 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1533 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: util > Reporter: Senthil Subramanian > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-1533_1.patch > > > Distcp errors are now not logged anywhere (other that reporter.setStatus > which gets overwritten).
