[jira] Commented: (MAPREDUCE-644) distcp does not skip copying file if we are updating single file

["Ravi Gummadi (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-644?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12752582#action_12752582 ] 

Ravi Gummadi commented on MAPREDUCE-644:
----------------------------------------

I tested it manually and I see that the single file's copy is skipped only with the patch.

Am wondering if we can verify the count of files copied(there is a counter 'COPY' in distcp for this) from testcase after running distcp for a single file with -update option and the destination contains the file already.
Thoughts ?

> distcp doesn't skip copying file when we do -update on single file if the destfile already exists.
> When we do 
> hadoop distcp -update srcfilename destfilename
> it seems to be comparing checksums of srcfilename and destfilename/srcfilename and so skip is not done. It should compare checksums of srcfilename and destfilename.
