[jira] [Created] (HDFS-4711) Can not change replication factor of file during moving or deleting.

Vladimir Barinov created HDFS-4711:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Can not change replication factor of file during moving or deleting.
                 Key: HDFS-4711
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4711
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Vladimir Barinov
            Priority: Minor


I don't know is it a feature or a bug. 
According to hdfs dfs -help we can use key -D to set specific options for action;
When we copying or uploading file to hdfs we can override replication factor with -D dfs.replication=N. That's works well.
But it doesn't work for moving or removing(to trash) file.
Step to reproduce:
Uploading file
hdfs dfs -put somefile /tmp/somefile
Copying with changing replication:
hdfs dfs -D dfs.replication=1 -mv /tmp/somefile /tmp/somefile2
