In my case it has nothing to do with directory permissions. I think
|distcp| cannot copy a file into a directory. It just can copy
directories, or copy a file into |/| dir.

Hi,
I am trying to understand why I can't copy files between HDFS filesytems
to a directory "/input1", but I can copy files to the root dir "/".
Eg, I have 2 hosts (hadoop-coc-2, and hadoop-coc3), and I can't copy
files between the dir "input1" [1], but I can copy the file to the root
dir [2].
Initially only hadoop-coc-2 (192.168.56.102) have the data. hadoop-coc-3
is empty. After I tried to copy the file to hadoop-coc-3, only the dir
"input1 was created in the destination.
I don't understand why this is happening. Any help?

`hadoop distcp hdfs://192.168.56.102:9000/input1/a.txt
hdfs://192.168.56.103:9000/input1/`

`hadoop distcp hdfs://192.168.56.102:9000/input1/a.txt

Thanks,
