Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-1608:
-------------------------------------------

Fix for this defect is in FsShell.java but the file present in COMMON project. Patch (HDFS-1608-src.patch) need to be updated in COMMON.

> FileSystem has the API 
> *public void copyFromLocalFile(boolean delSrc, boolean overwrite, Path[] srcs, Path dst)*
>      
>                          
> This API provides overwrite option. But the mapping command line doesn't have this option. To maintain the consistency and better usage  the command line option also can support the overwrite option like to put the files forcefully. ( put [-f] <srcpath> <dstPath>) and also for copyFromLocal command line option.
