Aaron Fabbri commented on HADOOP-15209:
---------------------------------------
Noticed you just mentioned cancelling the patch, nevermind on my last "is it
ready" comment.
My first feedback is about CopyCommitter#deleteMissing(). The goal seems to be
to reduce no-op deletes, but you have 3 retries with 1 second sleeps on failed
deletes. Ideally we'd only do that for S3, or add a config flag (default
false) to enable retries there. Really we should be able to query the FS for
capabilities and do retry for eventual consistent stores.
Just ping me when you think this is ready to commit and I'll re-review.

> DistCP issues a delete(file) request even if is underneath an already deleted
> directory. This generates needless load on filesystems/object stores, and, if
> the store throttles delete, can dramatically slow down the delete operation.
> If the distcp delete operation can build a history of deleted directories,
> then it will know when it does not need to issue those deletes.
> Care is needed here to make sure that whatever structure is created does not
> overload the heap of the process.
