Dave Thompson updated HADOOP-8233:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: HADOOP-8233-branch-0.23.2.patch

Patch skips CRC on 0 byte size files and when blocksize between source and target do not match.

> DistcpV2 (hadoop-tools/hadoop-distcp/..) can fail from checksum failure, sometimes when copying a 0 byte file.    Root cause of this may have to do with an inconsistent nature of HDFS when creating 0 byte files, however distcp can avoid this issue by not checking CRC when size is zero.
> Further, distcp fails checksum when copying from two clusters that use different blocksizes.  In this case it does not make sense to check CRC, as it is a guaranteed failure.
> We need to turn CRC checking off for the above two cases.
