Ewan Higgs commented on HDFS-13936:
-----------------------------------

01

* If the parts in the FileSystemMultipartUploader are empty then only touch the 
file (create+close).
* Add a contract test to make sure this works across MPU implementations.

> multipart upload to HDFS to support 0 byte upload

> MPUs to HDFS fail as you can't concat an empty block. 
> Whatever uploads to HDFS needs to recognise that specific case "0-byte file" 
> and rather than try and concat things, just create a 0-byte file there.
> Without this, you can't use MPU as a replacement for distcp or alternative 
> commit protocols.
