------------------------------------
[~mithun] - I know its been a while, but are you still working on this?
Since HDFS-222 is getting some attention, I feel it would be good to have this
as an inbuilt usage of the same (and since Dhruba has already mentioned it is a
great improvement to DistCp).
> distcp can copy blocks in parallel

> The minimum unit of work for a distcp task is a file. We have files that are
> greater than 1 TB with a block size of 1 GB. If we use distcp to copy these
> files, the tasks either take a long long long time or finally fails. A better
> way for distcp would be to copy all the source blocks in parallel, and then
> stich the blocks back to files at the destination via the HDFS Concat API
> (HDFS-222)
