> Project: Hadoop HDFS

>
> HDFS forbids copying from a directory to its subdirectory (e.g. hdfs dfs -cp
> /abc /abc/xyz) as otherwise it could cause infinite copying (/abc/xyz/xyz,
> /abc/xyz/xyz, /abc/xyz/xyz/xyz,... etc)
> However, if the source path is ended with a '/' path separator, the existing
> validation for sub-directories fails. For example, copying from / to /abc
> would cause infinite copying, until the disk space is filled up.
