Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-1506:
---------------------------------------------
What is the reason for keeping the same block size in the target file?
The target file system may have a different default block size.
Why do we want to go against the default in this case?
Ex. If we copy a file from ext2 with 1K blocks to ext3 with 8K blocks we are
not trying to preserve any block sizes.
> distcp not preserving the replication factor and block size of source files
