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.

Thoughts?
