Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE updated HADOOP-5675:
-------------------------------------------
Description: Currently, DistCp launch a job even if it is not necessary.
In such case, the job does nothing. (was: Currently, DistCp launch a job even
if byteCount == 0. In such case, the job does nothing.)
Hadoop Flags: (was: [Reviewed])
Summary: DistCp should not launch a job if it is not necessary (was:
DistCp should not launch a job if byteCount == 0)
If there are only zero length files, we have byteCount == 0. However, DistCp
should launch a job to copy these zero length files in this case. Instead of
byteCount, we should use fileCount, which counts how many files needed to be
copied.
Edited summary and description to reflect this.
