[~jingzhao] It seems you are actually a hadoop commiter, so it's just great.
Hope you'll find my patch helpful and you'll be able to add this feature soon!

> Currently while doing distcp, users can use "-Ddfs.checksum.type" to specify
> the checksum type in the target FS. This works fine if all the source files
> are using the same checksum type. If files in the source cluster have mixed
> types of checksum, users have to either use "-skipcrccheck" or have checksum
> mismatching exception. Thus we may need to consider adding a new option to
> distcp so that it can automatically identify the original checksum type of
> each source file and use the same checksum type in the target FS.
