>
> HDFS-9820 proposed adding -rdiff switch to distcp, as a reversed operation of
> -diff switch.
> Upon discussion with [~jingzhao], we will introduce a new tool that wraps
> around distcp to achieve the same purpose.
> I'm thinking about calling the new tool "rsync", similar to unix/linux
> command "rsync". The "r" here means remote.
> The syntax that simulate -rdiff behavior proposed in HDFS-9820 is
> {code}
> rsync <fromSnapshotName> <toSnapshotName> <source> <target>
> {code}
> This command ensure <fromSnapshotName> is newer than <toSnapshotName>.
> I think, In the future, we can add another command to have the functionality
> of -diff switch of distcp.
> {code}
> sync <fromSnapshotName> <toSnapshotName> <source> <target>
> {code}
> that ensures <fromSnapshotName> is older than <toSnapshotName>.
> Thanks [~jingzhao].
