[jira] Updated: (MAPREDUCE-1231) Distcp is very slow

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1231?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jothi Padmanabhan updated MAPREDUCE-1231:
-----------------------------------------

    Attachment: mapred-1231.patch

Patch that disables checksum validations.

The long term solution would be to do the setup, including checksum validations, as a separate M/R Job. This possibly could be done in a separate Jira.

> Currently distcp does a checksums check in addition to file length check to decide if a remote file has to be copied. If the number of files is high (thousands), this checksum check is proving to be fairly costly leading to a long time before the copy is started.
