Description

org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil.copyMerge does not find all the files recursively in sub directories. I am ready to push the code for the same. This is my first JIRA so dont know much the process. Please validate I feel this feature is very helpful. Since copyMerge does not support recursive finding in sub directories I need to copy files from thousands of directories first and then move into one directory and give that directory to copyMerge.
