Chris Douglas commented on MAPREDUCE-1127:
------------------------------------------

A task timeout of 0, IIRC, means that the task should never time out. It should 
be considered "larger" than {{MIN_S3_TASK_TIMEOUT}}.

Special-casing S3 in distcp is not ideal, but it's a passable workaround until 
HADOOP-6324 is addressed or S3's rename stops sucking.

> distcp should timeout later during S3-based transfers

> Per MAPREDUCE-972, rename and other operations on distcp can take longer than 
> the typical mapreduce task timeout. As an interim fix, this timeout should be 
> increased when the distcp destination is S3.
