-----------------------------------------
oh, and the text is actually wrong, as the arg is "-skipcrccheck"
> distcp to downgrade on checksum algorithm mismatch to "files unchanged"

> Key: HADOOP-15273
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15273
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tools/distcp
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
>
> When using distcp without {{-skipCRC}} . If there's a checksum mismatch
> between src and dest store types (e.g hdfs to s3), then the error message
> will talk about blocksize, even when its the underlying checksum protocol
> itself which is the cause for failure
> bq. Source and target differ in block-size. Use -pb to preserve block-sizes
> during copy. Alternatively, skip checksum-checks altogether, using -skipCrc.
> (NOTE: By skipping checksums, one runs the risk of masking data-corruption
> during file-transfer.)
> IF the checksum types are fundamentally different, the error message should
> say so
