# hadoop distcp
usage: distcp OPTIONS [source_path...] <target_path>
OPTIONS
-append Reuse existing data in target files and
append new data to them if possible
-async Should distcp execution be blocking
-atomic Commit all changes or none
-bandwidth <arg> Specify bandwidth per map in MB
-delete Delete from target, files missing in source
-diff <arg> Use snapshot diff report to identify the
difference between source and target
-f <arg> List of files that need to be copied
-filelimit <arg> (Deprecated!) Limit number of files copied
to <= n
-filters <arg> The path to a file containing a list of

-i Ignore failures during copy
-log <arg> Folder on DFS where distcp execution logs

checksum-type, ACL, XATTR, timestamps). If
-p is specified with no <arg>, then
preserves replication, block size, user,
group, permission, checksum type and
timestamps. raw.* xattrs are preserved when
both the source and destination paths are

-skipcrccheck Whether to skip CRC checks between source
