[jira] [Resolved] (HDFS-12161) Distcp does not preserve ownership
in destination parent folder
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12161?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Siyao Meng resolved HDFS-12161.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Cannot Reproduce
> Distcp does not preserve ownership in destination parent folder
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-12161
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12161
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hdfs
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Reporter: Sailesh Patel
> Assignee: Siyao Meng
> Priority: Minor
>
> After running distcp as user 'usertest' which is a hdfs superuser, the destination folder ownership is not preserved.
> e.g.
> {code:bash}
> hadoop distcp -pugpaxt -update -skipcrccheck /tmp/usertest /tmp/new_user/usertest_copy
> {code}
> After distcp is executed, the parent folder has ownership with 'usertest' :
> {code:bash}
> drwxr-xr-x - usertest supergroup 0 2017-07-13 22:09 /tmp/new_user/usertest_copy
> {code}
> and the actual files copied by distcp preserved the permissions:
> {code:bash}
> drwxr-xr-x - hive hive 0 2017-07-13 22:09 /tmp/new_user/usertest_copy/dir1
> -rw-r--r-- 1 hdfs hive 287 2017-07-13 22:09 /tmp/new_user/usertest_copy/test1.txt
> {code}
> The distcp options (-pugpaxt) does not apply to the destination parent directory specified in the distcp command e.g. "/tmp/new_user/usertest_copy".
> Can we document this in https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.2.1/distcp2.html under Command Line Options
> The destination folder location needs to be pre-created with correct ownership/permissions before using distcp. The preserve options do not apply to parent folder.
