Recipes framework capability to support HDFS and Hive mirroring was added in Apache Falcon 0.6.0 release and it was a client side logic. With 0.10 release its moved to server side and renamed as server side extensions as part of jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1107. For any new mirror job to be submitted and managed, Falcon extensions should be used. Please refer https://falcon.apache.org/restapi/ExtensionEnumeration.html for more details. Supported DistCp options for HDFS mirroring in HDP 2.5: distcpMaxMaps distcpMapBandwidth overwrite ignoreErrors skipChecksum removeDeletedFiles preserveBlockSize preserveReplicationNumber preservePermission preserveUser preserveGroup preserveChecksumType preserveAcl preserveXattr preserveTimes Hdfs mirroring job can be scheduled using extension as below: falcon extension -submitAndSchedule -extensionName hdfs-mirroring -file sales-monthly.properties Content of sales-monthly.properties file: jobName=sales-monthly jobValidityStart=2016-06-30T00:00Z jobValidityEnd=2099-12-31T11:59Z jobFrequency=minutes(45) jobTimezone=UTC sourceCluster=primaryCluster targetCluster=backupCluster jobClusterName=primaryCluster sourceDir=/user/ambari-qa/sales-monthly/input targetDir=/user/ambari-qa/sales-monthly/output removeDeletedFiles=true skipChecksum=false preservePermission=true preserveUser=true Refer hdfs-mirroring-properties.json for properties supported in HDFS mirroring.
