> The minimum unit of work for a distcp task is a file. We have files that are
> greater than 1 TB with a block size of 1 GB. If we use distcp to copy these
> files, the tasks either take a long long long time or finally fails. A better
> way for distcp would be to copy all the source blocks in parallel, and then
> stich the blocks back to files at the destination via the HDFS Concat API
> (HDFS-222)
