[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-5826) distcp could have an option to preserve the full source path

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5826?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12710273#action_12710273 ] 

dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-5826:
------------------------------------------

distcp has options to preserve the modification time, replication factor, permissions, etc from the source file to the destination. One approach would be to introduce a command line parameter to distcp that "preserves" source-path.

> It would be helpful to have an option that preserves the full source path when copying files from one location to another. This is specially important when archiving/moving files from one cluster to another one.
