-------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve DistCp Help and documentation
                 Key: HDFS-9638
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9638
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: distcp
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang
            Assignee: Wei-Chiu Chuang
            Priority: Minor


For example,
-mapredSslConf <arg>   Configuration for ssl config file, to use with
                        hftps://

But this ssl config file should be in the classpath, which is not clearly stated.

http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-distcp/DistCp.html
"When using the hsftp protocol with a source, the security- related properties may be specified in a config-file and passed to DistCp. <ssl_conf_file> needs to be in the classpath. "

It is also not clear from the context if this ssl_conf_file should be at the client issuing the command. (I think the answer is yes)

Also, in: http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-distcp/DistCp.html
"The following is an example of the contents of the contents of a SSL Configuration file:"
there's an extra "of the contents of the contents "
