chris snow commented on KNOX-734:
---------------------------------
I didn't realised that webhdfs didn't have a copy method. I don't want to pull

the client in one operation and then pushing in another.
Symbolic link may work for my use case, but I'd need to test it.

> 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.
