Eli Collins commented on HDFS-3671:
-----------------------------------
Since HDFS-3577 is not removing the Content-Length header check we need to fix
this here, otherwise we still can't distcp from the 20.x (ie pre-203) releases,
which we don't want to break since that prevents users from migrating to new
releases.
Daryn, I like your idea of doing the file stat if the length is not present,
want to post a patch for that?

> Per HDFS-3318 the content length header check breaks distcp compatibility
> with previous releases (0.20.2 and earlier, and 0.21). Like branch-1 this
> check should be lenient.
