----------------------------------------

             Summary: hdfs dfs -getmerge can have an additional parameter for 
sort order
                 Key: HADOOP-10874
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10874
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: fs
            Reporter: Sambit Tripathy
            Priority: Minor


Default implementation sorts the array in ascending order of the files,  a 
parameter can be added to current implementation so that it can sort in 
descending order as well.

Current impl:
public static boolean More ...copyMerge(FileSystem srcFS, Path srcDir, 
FileSystem dstFS, Path dstFile, boolean deleteSource, Configuration conf, 
String addString) throws IOException {

Proposed:
public static boolean More ...copyMerge(FileSystem srcFS, Path srcDir, 
FileSystem dstFS, Path dstFile, boolean deleteSource, Configuration conf, 
String addString, boolean sort) throws IOException {
