[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-5762) distcp does not copy empty directories

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5762?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Rodrigo Schmidt updated HADOOP-5762:
------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: site
           Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

The problem happened if any of the source paths was an empty directory. This happens because source directories are not "visited" in the inner loop that checks for files and directories to be copied and, thus, it was not added to _distcp_src_files.

> If I have an empty directory /testdir1 and then I run the command bin/hadoop distcp /testdir1 /testdir2, the command completes successfully, but does not create the empty directory /testdir2.
