Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-4897:
---------------------------------------
bq. Sorry, I made a mistake in the initial filing. hdfs dfs -mv will retain the
quotas settings, but not -cp. This still means that when we want to restore a
subtree using snapshots, we won't be able to retain quotas settings because we
can't use move.
Can you explain what you mean by "restore a subtree using snapshots"? Currently
there is no restore supported. If you want to restore some data, you need to
copy, which should follow the current copy semantics.
