Mingliang Liu commented on HDFS-10556:
--------------------------------------

Per-offline discussion with [~jingzhao], we should keep the {{validate()}} 
method signature as it-was. The reason was that it's a public API and 
downstream applications may call it directly before calling setters. The v1 
patch is to make the code similar to pre- [HDFS-10397]. The changes are:
# Ignore the {{delete}} option if {{useDiff}} is set. This is processed in both 
{{setDeleteMissing()}} and {{setUseDiff()}}
# Reuse the {{DistCpOptions}} from v0 patch for unit test

> DistCpOptions should be validated automatically

> {{DistCpOptions}} can be set from command-line or may be set manually. In 
> [HDFS-10397], we refactored the validation to make it simpler and more 
> efficient. However, the newly added {{validate()}} method may not be 
> automatically revoked. This is the major concern for existing downstreams 
> that create the {{DistCpOptions}} manually instead of by parser, and have 
> conflicting options.
> This jira is to make the validation happen automatically. A simple fix is to 
> use the approach that validates in individual setters. This is a fix for 
> {{branch-2}}. As a long-term fix, in [HDFS-10533], we're making the 
> {{DistCpOptions}} immutable so that it will be hard, if not impossible, to 
> use it wrongly by downstream applications. However, that code will only go to 
> {{trunk}} branch as it breaks backwards-compatibility.
