Cheng Lian commented on HADOOP-15086:
-------------------------------------
To be more specific, when multiple threads rename files to the same target
path, more than 1 *but not all* threads can succeed. It's because check and
copy file in {{NativeAzureFileSystem#rename()}} is not atomic.
The problem here is that it's unclear what the expected semantics of
{{NativeAzureFileSystem#rename()}} is:
- If the semantics is "error if the destination file already exists", then only
1 thread can succeed.
- If the semantics is "overwrite if the destination file already exists", then
all threads should succeed.

> I would expect it's atomic just like HDFS.
