Siyao Meng created HADOOP-16083:
-----------------------------------
Summary: DistCp shouldn't always overwrite the target file when
checksums match
Key: HADOOP-16083
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16083
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: tools/distcp
Affects Versions: 3.1.1, 3.2.0, 3.3.0
Reporter: Siyao Meng
Assignee: Siyao Meng
{code:java|title=CopyMapper#setup}
...
try {
overWrite = overWrite || targetFS.getFileStatus(targetFinalPath).isFile();
} catch (FileNotFoundException ignored) {
}
...
{code}
The above code overrides config key "overWrite" to "true" when the target path
is a file. Therefore, unnecessary transfer happens when the source and target
file have the same checksums.
My suggestion is: remove the code above. If the user insists to overwrite, just
add -overwrite in the options:
{code:bash|title=DistCp command with -overwrite option}
hadoop distcp -overwrite hdfs://localhost:64464/source/5/6.txt
hdfs://localhost:64464/target/5/6.txt
{code}
