Description

Empty file of size 0 is created when QuotaExceed exception occurs while copying a file. This file is created with the same name of which file copy is tried .
I.E if operation
Hadoop fs -copyFromLocal testFile1 /testDir
Fails due to quota exceed exception then testFile1 of size 0 is created in testDir on HDFS.

Steps to verify

1) Create testDir and apply space quota of 16kb
2) Copy file say testFile of size greater than 16kb from local file system
3) You should see QuotaException error
4) testFile of size 0 is created in testDir which is not expected .
