Description

I don't know is it a feature or a bug.
According to hdfs dfs -help we can use key -D to set specific options for action;
When we copying or uploading file to hdfs we can override replication factor with -D dfs.replication=N. That's works well.
But it doesn't work for moving or removing(to trash) file.
Steps to reproduce:
Uploading file
hdfs dfs -put somefile /tmp/somefile
Copying with changing replication:
hdfs dfs -D dfs.replication=1 -mv /tmp/somefile /tmp/somefile2
