Larry McCay commented on KNOX-734:
----------------------------------
Great enhancement idea, [~snowch].
Thank you for your contributions!
I'm curious what other options that we may have here.
Depending on the size of the file to copy, pulling it back to the client in
order to push it somewhere else in HDFS may not work.
I wonder what it would look like to incorporate DistCp into the client shell
programming model.
Would likely need to leverage webhcat to do that....
Let's try and discuss this type of alternative and contrast it with the simpler
pull and push to the client machine.

> I need to be able to copy a file from one hdfs location to another.
> At the moment, I'm having to download a file to the client and then upload
> to the desired location to perform this task with the shell client.
> I can send a patch if you think this is a good idea.
