Copying directories using distcp

[Stuti Awasthi <st...@hcl.com>]

Hi all,

I have data in S3 bucket in different folders and want to copy to HDFS directly . I used Distcp to copy files to HDFS by specifying complete s3 path of the file.
I have 2 queries :

1. Can I copy the entire folder from S3 to HDFS using distcp.
2. Can I generate the exact input folder replica on HDFS as destination folder.

I tried using -f <uri_list> but in that also, I need to provide the complete path of the S3 files.
Please suggest

Stuti
