> Provide support for update to move directories/files atomically by copying the src directory to a tmp directory (with random/unique name) then move the directory to its target destination name after all subdirs/files are copied and verified.
> example option ideas
>   hadoop ... distcp -update -move src dst
> or
>   hadoop ... distcp -update -atomic src dst
> to assure file correctness at the destination, before distcp performs the  'move' at the end of the copy process, it should first perform a strong signature/cksum (e.g. MD4) on the files.
> The issue/need for this is that applications may attempt to start processing data (because files are present), prior to completion of a whole directory copy -- resulting in work against an incomplete data set.
