[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-2851) Import Table Operation removes files

["Christopher Tubbs (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2851?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14555321#comment-14555321 ] 

Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-2851:
---------------------------------------------

That solution would be very poorly performant. We wouldn't want to make it easy for users to shoot themselves in the foot with that option. If we did this, we'd have to be very careful to document it so users are fully aware of its implications. Perhaps we should even create a whole separate import command which provides this option... like {{import-with-copy}}, so it's very obvious.

> When Importing a table, the code calls rename, which moves the file away. However, in some use cases, the user may need to keep data intact. An option should be provided to not remove the data from the import directory.
