def get(src_hdfs_path, dest_path, **kwargs):
cp(src_hdfs_path, path.abspath(dest_path, local=True), **kwargs)<EOL>
\
    Copy the contents of ``src_hdfs_path`` to ``dest_path``.

    ``dest_path`` is forced to be interpreted as an ordinary local
    path (see :func:`~path.abspath`). The source file is opened for
    reading and the copy is opened for writing. Additional keyword
    arguments, if any, are handled like in :func:`open`.
