Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-11392: ---------------------------------------- This patch changes {{FileUtil#copyMerge}}. As it turns out, this method is currently unused in the Hadoop source tree. In branch-1, it had been part of the implementation of the {{hadoop fs -getmerge}} shell command. In branch-2, the code for that shell command was rewritten in a way that no longer requires this method. Since the method is annotated {{Public}}, I scanned other ecosystem projects for references to it. The only caller I could find was in Mahout. Instead of maintaining this code, I'd like to suggest that we resolve this as won't fix. We can file a separate jira to propose deprecation of the method, followed by eventual removal after politely asking Mahout to migrate off of it. The class is annotated {{Evolving}}, so we have the right to make a breaking change at a minor version boundary.
