Jayant Mahajan commented on HADOOP-3887:
----------------------------------------
I agree with Nicholas. We can provide link to pdf help file is fine as a
solution to command line help. Currently command line help is not providing
sufficient information to copy between different version of Hadoop.
> Distcp help needs to be more elaborated.

> Key: HADOOP-3887
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3887
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.18.0
> Reporter: Suman Sehgal
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.18.0
>
>
> "hadoop distcp --help" command gives help regarding the execution of the
> distcp command but it doesn't give the details about copying data between
> different versions of Hadoop.
> The example displayed by the help documentation is :
> hadoop distcp -p -update "hdfs://A:8020/user/foo/bar"
> "hdfs://B:8020/user/foo/baz"
> while copying between different versions, distcp uses hftp protocol instead
> of hdfs for source path.
