Mingliang Liu commented on HDFS-10397: -------------------------------------- Thanks [~jingzhao] and [~yzhangal] for the review and discussion! > Distcp should ignore -delete option if -diff option is provided instead of > exiting > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-10397 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10397 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: distcp > Affects Versions: 2.8.0 > Reporter: Mingliang Liu > Assignee: Mingliang Liu > Fix For: 2.8.0 > > Attachments: HDFS-10397.000.patch, HDFS-10397.001.patch, > HDFS-10397.002.patch, HDFS-10397.003.patch, HDFS-10397.003.patch > > > In distcp, {{-delete}} and {{-diff}} options are mutually exclusive. > [HDFS-8828] brought strictly checking which makes the existing applications > (or scripts) that work just fine with both {{-delete}} and {{-diff}} options > previously stop performing because of the > {{java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Diff is valid only with update > options}} exception. > To make it backward incompatible, we can ignore the {{-delete}} option, given > {{-diff}} option, instead of exiting the program. Along with that, we can > print a warning message saying that _Diff is valid only with update options, > and -delete option is ignored_. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
