Copying files has always involved downloading the data and then uploading it again. This is true of both FileUtils, and -cp from the command line. IT really would be great to have a way for HDFS to do it for you, behind the scenes, but that is not implemented yet.

I am following "http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r1.0.0/webhdfs.html " There is no url supported for Copy files with HDFS. Usually we do it with FileUtils api or "-cp" command of shell. Do we have a way to copy files in webhdfs also ?
