Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-10971:
----------------------------------
Thanks for identifying the issue [~jojochuang] and [~andrew.wang]
The basic issue I see here is that EC files don't have a meaningful
{{block_replication}}. Quick question, how is this field handled in S3
filesystem?
> Distcp should not copy replication factor if source file is erasure coded

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: distcp
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha1
> Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang
> Assignee: Wei-Chiu Chuang

> The current erasure coding implementation uses replication factor field to
> store erasure coding policy.
> Distcp copies the source file's replication factor to the destination if
> {{-pr}} is specified. However, if the source file is EC, the replication
> factor (which is EC policy) should not be replicated to the destination file.
> When a HdfsFileStatus is converted to FileStatus, the replication factor is
> set to 0 if it's an EC file.
> In fact, I will attach a test case that shows trying to replicate the
> replication factor of an EC file results in an IOException: "Requested
> replication factor of 0 is less than the required minimum of 1 for
> /tmp/dst/dest2"
