Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-999:
--------------------------------------
I do not think that this patch should change the retry policy of
AlreadyBeingCreatedException. Instead, it should change the copy utility so
that it takes an additional flag indicating if the destination file should be
overwritten or not.
> DFS Client should create file when the user creates the file

> Currently, the DFS client code does not create the file on the namenode until
> the first block is flushed. This leads to difficult to diagnose error
> conditions when there is a conflicting file creation.
