May I recreate this jira as HDFS issue?

> FsShell copy/put creates staging files with '._COPYING_' suffix.  These files should be considered hidden by FileInputFormat.  (A simple fix is to add the following conjunct to the existing hiddenFilter: 
> {code}
> !name.endsWith("._COPYING_")
> {code}
> After upgrading to CDH 4.2.0 we encountered this bug. We have a legacy data loader which uses 'hadoop fs -put' to load data into hourly partitions.  We also have intra-hourly jobs which are scheduled to execute several times per hour using the same hourly partition as input.  Thus, as the new data is continuously loaded, these staging files (i.e., ._COPYING_) are breaking our jobs (since when copy/put completes staging files are moved).
> As a workaround, we've defined a custom input path filter and loaded it with "mapred.input.pathFilter.class".
