    • Add option for distcp to preserve the checksum type of the source files. Users can use "-pc" as distcp command option to preserve the checksum type.

    Description

      Currently while doing distcp, users can use "-Ddfs.checksum.type" to specify the checksum type in the target FS. This works fine if all the source files are using the same checksum type. If files in the source cluster have mixed types of checksum, users have to either use "-skipcrccheck" or have checksum mismatching exception. Thus we may need to consider adding a new option to distcp so that it can automatically identify the original checksum type of each source file and use the same checksum type in the target FS.
