Daryn Sharp commented on MAPREDUCE-5315:
----------------------------------------
Is there perhaps a way to throw an exception that is more useful to the user
than "something went wrong! go dig in the logs"?
> DistCp reports success even on failure.

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5315
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5315
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: distcp
> Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan
> Assignee: Mithun Radhakrishnan
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5315.branch-0.23.patch
>
>
> DistCp doesn't check the job-status when run in blocking-mode, before
> returning its exit-code. (The Yahoo-internal version did this correctly.)
> In blocking-mode, DistCp must check that the launched job runs to completion,
> and return an appropriate exit-code.
> Pretty serious bug, since it affects data integrity, in Oozie-launched-DistCp
> actions.
> (I could've sworn I had another JIRA with this patch attached.)
