Venkatesh S commented on MAPREDUCE-1231:
----------------------------------------
Arun, this feature was added in H20 and was not available in H18. Hence, this
change should be sufficient for us to address the slow start up times.
> Distcp is very slow

> Currently distcp does a checksums check in addition to file length check to
> decide if a remote file has to be copied. If the number of files is high
> (thousands), this checksum check is proving to be fairly costly leading to a
> long time before the copy is started.
