--------------------------------------
[~jojochuang] In DistCp options , we have preserve status for
(rbugpcaxtq)(REPLICATION,block-size,..) , if we pass one more option for
Replication , the replication factor will override
your view about this issue ?
> [distcp] Add ability to increase the replication factor for fileList.seq

> Key: HDFS-14574
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14574
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: distcp
> Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang
> Assignee: hemanthboyina
> Priority: Major
>
> distcp creates fileList.seq with default replication factor = 3.
> For large clusters runing distcp job with thousands of mappers, that
> 3-replica for the file listing file is not good enough, because DataNodes
> easily run out of max number of xceivers.
>
> It looks like we can pass in a distcp option, update replication factor in
> when creating the sequence file writer:
> [https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-distcp/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/tools/SimpleCopyListing.java#L517-L521]
>
> Like this:
> {code:java}
> return SequenceFile.createWriter(getConf(),
> SequenceFile.Writer.file(pathToListFile),
> SequenceFile.Writer.keyClass(Text.class),
> SequenceFile.Writer.valueClass(CopyListingFileStatus.class),
> SequenceFile.Writer.compression(SequenceFile.CompressionType.NONE),
> SequenceFile.Writer.replication((short)100)); <-- this line
> {code}
