Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze updated MAPREDUCE-6564:
-------------------------------------------
Description:
fs -cp will fail if the destination parent directory does not exist.
{code}
$hadoop fs -cp /a.sh /dst/non-existing/a.sh
cp: `/dst/non-existing/a.sh': No such file or directory
{code}
However, distcp will not fail. It creates the missing parent directory.
{code}
$hadoop distcp /a.sh /dst/non-existing/a.sh
...
$hadoop fs -ls /dst/non-existing
Found 1 items
-rw-r--r-- 3 szetszwo hdfs 531 2015-12-04 16:24 /dst/non-existing/a.sh
