Chris Douglas reassigned HADOOP-1539:
-------------------------------------
Assignee: Chris Douglas
> distcp overwrites destination files by default

> This is risky. distcp should instead accept a flag that indicates if
> destination files can be overwritten (overwrite all files, overwrite only if
> dest timestamp is older than source etc). The default behavior should be to
> not overwrite any files.
