From the documentation:
"Exposes the Hadoop command-line distcp as an embeddable API."

So I try passing args to DistCp of
hdfs://svr/root/srcdir/* hdfs://svr/root/dest
and it throws an exception.

Doesn't shdp.DistCp support wildcards (globing) ?
The command-line does.

If so, how do I do wildcards?

Thanks for the help,
