             Summary: Improve FedBalance DistCp option handling
                 Key: HDFS-17948
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-17948
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: QI, Jiale


FedBalance currently submits DistCp jobs with a fixed set of DistCp preserve 
options and does not expose several useful DistCp knobs through the FedBalance 
CLI.

This makes FedBalance less flexible for operators. For example:

- ACL preservation is always requested by the generated DistCp command, which 
can fail or be undesirable when ACLs are not enabled on one side.
- File timestamp preservation cannot be requested explicitly.
- DistCp copy strategy cannot be selected through FedBalance.
- DistCp listStatus parallelism cannot be tuned through FedBalance.
- `-diffThreshold` is documented but not registered in the shared CLI options.

This issue proposes adding FedBalance options for these DistCp settings while 
keeping the existing default behavior as much as possible:

- Add `-skipAclPreserve` to disable ACL preservation.
- Preserve ACLs only when both source and destination filesystems support ACLs.
- Add `hdfs.fedbalance.preserve.acl.enabled` as a configuration-level ACL 
preserve switch.
- Add `-preserveTimes` to include file timestamp preservation.
- Add `-distcpStrategy` to pass a DistCp copy strategy.
- Add `-numListstatusThreads` to tune DistCp listStatus threads.
- Register `-diffThreshold` in the shared CLI option set.
- Persist the new options in `FedBalanceContext` so recovered jobs keep the 
same behavior.

Defaults should remain conservative: ACL preservation stays enabled when 
supported by both sides, timestamp preservation remains disabled unless 
requested, and DistCp strategy/listStatus thread settings use DistCp defaults 
unless explicitly configured.
