Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-4523:
--------------------------------------

Even on development branches we still do RTC and discuss how features should 
work before committing them. I don't see why this is any different. The fact 
that the feature isn't fully functional yet has nothing to do with how it 
should work.

> The use case of concat is for copying large files across clusters using the 
> following steps.
> - Step 1: The blocks of a file in the source cluster are copied in parallel 
> to transient files in the destination cluster.
> - Step 2: Then the transient files in the destination cluster are 
> concatenated in order to obtain the original file.
> If a snapshot is taken in the destination cluster before Step 2, some 
> transient files may be captured in the snapshot.  These transient files 
> should be removed in Step 2.
