Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-5826:
--------------------------------------
That seems to be doable by user of distcp like :
hadoop fs -mkdir dest:/d/a/b (copying properties of a and b from source, if possible)
hadoop distcp src:/a/b/c dest:/d/a/b
If we want to add this feature, I think it is better not to use '-p' for this. '-p' by convention implies preserving properties of each file.. it would be confusing if it also created these paths.
distcp could have an option to preserve the full source path

URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5826
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tools/distcp
Reporter: Rodrigo Schmidt
Assignee: Rodrigo Schmidt
It would be helpful to have an option that preserves the full source path when copying files from one location to another. This is specially important when archiving/moving files from one cluster to another one.
