> Currently, when we execute the Hadoop distcp  with -update -delete src1/* 
> src2/* dest command to keep the source and target directories exactly the 
> same。 When either -update or -overwrite is specified, the *contents* of the 
> source-directories are copied to target, and not the source directories 
> themselves. 
> Consider a copy from /source/first/ and /source/second/ to /target/, where 
> the source paths have the following contents:
> hdfs://nn1:8020/source/first/1
> hdfs://nn1:8020/source/first/2
> hdfs://nn1:8020/source/second/10
> hdfs://nn1:8020/source/second/20
> distcp2 -update hdfs://nn1:8020/source/first hdfs://nn1:8020/source/second 
> hdfs://nn2:8020/target
> would yield the following contents in /target:
> hdfs://nn2:8020/target/1
> hdfs://nn2:8020/target/2
> hdfs://nn2:8020/target/10
> hdfs://nn2:8020/target/20
>  
> But, sometimes, we need to preserve parent directories like this:
> hdfs://nn1:8020/target/first/1
> hdfs://nn1:8020/target/first/2
> hdfs://nn1:8020/target/second/10
> hdfs://nn1:8020/target/second/20
>  
> So, should we introduce an option -preserveParentDir to keep the parent 
> directories to be copied with -update or -overwrite ?
