Good question; I don't know of one but I believe people at Cloudera had some thoughts of porting Sqoop to Spark in the future, and maybe they'd consider DistCP as part of this effort. I agree it's missing right now.

I'm wondering if there is a distcp equivalent that leverages Spark to do the work. Our team is trying to find the best way to do cross-datacenter replication of our HDFS data to minimize the impact of outages/dc failure.
