>          Components: fs
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
>         Environment: Cloudera CDH3B4 in pseudo mode on a Linux 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 kernel, with Java HotSpot64-Bit Server VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

> copyFromLocalFile crashes if a cheksum file exists on the local filesystem and the checksum does not match the file content. This will for example crash "hadoop -fs put ./foo ./foo" with a non-descriptive error.
> It is therefore not possible to do:
> 1. copyToLocalFile(hdfsFile, localFile)       // creates checksum file
> 2. modify localFile
> 3. copyFromLocalFile(localFile, hdfsFile)  // uses old checksum
> Solution: do not reuse checksum files, or add a parameter  to copyFromLocalFile that specifies that checksum files should not be reused.
