hadoop distcp not working,MR job in accepted state - hadoop

Question

I am trying to copy data from CDH4 to CDH5 cluster. When I submit the distcp job from CDH5, MR job goes to accepted state and stays there ( I have tried it multiple times, it stayed there for more than 15 hrs). Data I want to copy is less than 10MB.
Below is the setup and steps I am using.
Source: CDH4, e.g. NodeName = cloudera4
Destination: CDH5, e.g. NodeName = Cloudera1
Command used on CDH5:
hadoop distcp hftp://Cloudera4:50070/ hdfs://Cloudera1/
Below is the console output:
[root#Cloudera1-RD opt]# sudo -u hdfs hadoop distcp hftp://Cloudera4:50070/ hdfs://Cloudera1/

This MR job stays in Accepted state forever.
I am stuck with this from many days now.
I really appreciate your help.

Answer 1

The problem with your code is Do not run distcp as the hdfs user which is blacklisted for MapReduce jobs by default.
Refer the Link and run distcp

Answer 2

solved it by using:
hdfs dfs -cp s3://<path> hdfs:///user/livy/
