             Summary: Make DistCpOptions class immutable
                 Key: HDFS-10533
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10533
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: distcp
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha1
            Reporter: Mingliang Liu
            Assignee: Mingliang Liu


Currently the {{DistCpOptions}} class encapsulates all DistCp options, which may be set from command-line (via the {{OptionsParser}}) or may be set manually (eg construct an instance and call setters). As there are multiple option fields and more (e.g. [HDFS-9868], [HDFS-10314]) to add, validating them can be cumbersome. Ideally, the {{DistCpOptions}} object should be immutable. The benefits are:
# {{DistCpOptions}} is simple and easier to use and share, plus it scales well
# validation is automatic, e.g. manually constructed {{DistCpOptions}} gets validated before usage
# validation error message is well-defined which does not depend on the order of setters

This jira is to track the effort of making the {{DistCpOptions}} immutable by using a Builder pattern for creation.
