Ramesh B commented on MAPREDUCE-6734:
-------------------------------------
Any update on this.? This is very helpful where you just want to copy list of
directories with different origin to destination. And what does the targetPath
do after this change, Is it just a filesystem scheme?
> Add option to distcp to preserve file path structure of source files at the
> destination

> When copying files using distcp with globbed source files, all the matched
> files in the glob are copied in a single flat directory. This causes
> problems when the file structure at the source is important. It also is an
> issue when there are two files matched in the glob with the same name because
> it causes a duplicate file error at the target. I'd like to have an option
> to preserve the file structure of the source files when globbing inputs.
