[jira] [Created] (MAPREDUCE-5315) DistCp reports success even on failure.

Mithun Radhakrishnan created MAPREDUCE-5315:
-----------------------------------------------

             Summary: DistCp reports success even on failure.
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-5315
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5315
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: distcp
            Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan
            Assignee: Mithun Radhakrishnan
            Priority: Critical


DistCp doesn't check the job-status when run in blocking-mode, before returning its exit-code. (The Yahoo-internal version did this correctly.)

In blocking-mode, DistCp must check that the launched job runs to completion, and return an appropriate exit-code.

Pretty serious bug, since it affects data integrity, in Oozie-launched-DistCp actions.

(I could've sworn I had another JIRA with this patch attached.)
