During data migration, it's important to verify that the content in source and destination are identical, we should provide a option to check the md5sum of them.
We could have two mode:
--check-all check all the files in source and destination
--check-new check newly copied files

From rsync:
In short, it always check md5 after file transferred; using this option to check md5 before transferring to determine if a file is changed.
-c, --checksum
This changes the way rsync checks if the files have been changed and are in need of a transfer. Without this option, rsync
uses a "quick check" that (by default) checks if each file’s size and time of last modification match between the sender and
receiver. This option changes this to compare a 128-bit checksum for each file that has a matching size. Generating the
checksums means that both sides will expend a lot of disk I/O reading all the data in the files in the transfer (and this is
prior to any reading that will be done to transfer changed files), so this can slow things down significantly.
The sending side generates its checksums while it is doing the file-system scan that builds the list of the available files.
The receiver generates its checksums when it is scanning for changed files, and will checksum any file that has the same size
as the corresponding sender’s file: files with either a changed size or a changed checksum are selected for transfer.
Note that rsync always verifies that each transferred file was correctly reconstructed on the receiving side by checking a
whole-file checksum that is generated as the file is transferred, but that automatic after-the-transfer verification has
nothing to do with this option’s before-the-transfer "Does this file need to be updated?" check.
For protocol 30 and beyond (first supported in 3.0.0), the checksum used is MD5. For older protocols, the checksum used is
MD4.
