Description

When 'distcp' action fails due to non-existing source directory, the return code is '-1' instead of a valid oozie return code.
As a result, the distcp action cannot be automatically retried on error (because the return code -1 is not a valid retry_error_code).

The fix would be to return a valid oozie error code.
