             Summary: DistCp: Reduce memory usage on copying huge directories
                 Key: HADOOP-17531
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17531
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ayush Saxena


Presently distCp, uses the producer-consumer kind of setup while building the 
listing, the input queue and output queue are both unbounded, thus the 
listStatus grows quite huge.

Rel Code Part :

https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-distcp/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/tools/SimpleCopyListing.java#L635

This goes on bredth-first traversal kind of stuff, so if you have files at 
lower depth, it will like open up the entire tree....
