Hudson commented on MAPREDUCE-648:
----------------------------------
Integrated in Hadoop-Mapreduce-trunk #84 (See
[http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Hadoop-Mapreduce-trunk/84/])
. Fix two distcp bugs: (1) it should not launch a job if all src paths are
directories, and (2) it does not skip copying when updating a single file.

> h4. 1. distcp -update launches job when there is at least one dir in source
> paths to be copied, even though there is nothing to copy.
> HADOOP-5675 added fileCount > 0 to be checked to decide whether to launch
> job. And HADOOP-5762 changed this to fileCount + dirCount > 0 to solve the
> issue of empty directories not getting copied to destination. With -update,
> dirCount is incremented without checking if that dir already exists at the
> destination. So distcp job is launched because of dirCount > 0 even though
> there is nothing to copy. Incrementing dirCount can be skipped if that dir
> already exists at the destination in case of -update.
> h4. 2. distcp doesn't skip copying file when we do -update on single file if
> the destfile already exists.
> When we do
> hadoop distcp -update srcfilename destfilename
> it seems to be comparing checksums of srcfilename and
> destfilename/srcfilename and so skip is not done. It should compare checksums
> of srcfilename and destfilename.
