> [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
>            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}
