> A single DistCp command may potentially copies a huge number of files/bytes.
> In such case, DistCp will run a long time and there is no way stop it nicely.
> It would be good if DistCp have an option to limit the number of files/bytes
> being copied. Once the limit is reached, DistCp will terminate and return
> success. All files copied are guaranteed to be good and there is no
> partially copied file.
