title: How do I copy files from S3 to Amazon EMR HDFS?
body: <p>I'm running hive over EMR, 
  and need to copy some files to all EMR instances.  </p>
  
  <p>One way as I understand is just to copy files to the local file system on each node the other is to copy the files to the HDFS however I haven't found a simple way to copy stright from S3 to HDFS.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to go about this?</p>
