Yongjun Zhang commented on HADOOP-8065:
---------------------------------------
Sure [~raviprak]!
rev05 is a pure rebase. I just did a new rev 06 with some polishing I wanted
to do:
# use constants instead of hardcoded ones.
# use DistCp's own set of configuration instead of the FileOutputFormat ones.
This would separate distcp from other mapreduce job's config.
# let DistCp fail before getting to mapper, if the compression is enabled with
invalid codec
# added a negative test
Would you please take a look at it?
Thanks.
> distcp should have an option to compress data while copying.

> We would like compress the data while transferring from our source system to
> target system. One way to do this is to write a map/reduce job to compress
> that after/before being transferred. This looks inefficient.
> Since distcp already reading writing data it would be better if it can
> accomplish while doing this.
> Flip side of this is that distcp -update option can not check file size
> before copying data. It can only check for the existence of file.
> So I propose if -compress option is given then file size is not checked.
> Also when we copy file appropriate extension needs to be added to file
> depending on compression type.
