             Summary: Add option to distcp to preserve file path structure of 
source files at the destination
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-6734
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6734
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: distcp
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha2
         Environment: Software platform
            Reporter: Frederick Tucker
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 3.0.0-alpha2


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.
