HDFS-13660. DistCp job fails when new data is appended in the file while the DistCp copy job is running
This uses the length of the file known at the start of the copy to determine the amount of data to copy.

* If a file is appended to during the copy, the original bytes are copied.
* If a file is truncated during a copy, or the attempt to read the data fails with a truncated stream,
  distcp will now fail. Until now these failures were not detected.

README

DistCp (distributed copy) is a tool used for large inter/intra-cluster copying. 
It uses Map/Reduce to effect its distribution, error handling and recovery, 
and reporting. It expands a list of files and directories into input to map tasks, 
each of which will copy a partition of the files specified in the source list.
