--------------------------------------------------------------

For info on the other rename() methods:
 * {{S3FileSystem}} implements {{rename()}} as a [copy and 
delete|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/release-2.6.0/sdks/java/io/amazon-web-services/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/aws/s3/S3FileSystem.java#L597]
 * {{GcsFileSystem}} implements {{rename()}} as a [copy and 
delete|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/release-2.6.0/sdks/java/extensions/google-cloud-platform-core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/extensions/gcp/storage/GcsFileSystem.java#L122]
 * {{LocalFileSystem}} implements {{rename()}} by [making the parent directory 
if 
necessary|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/release-2.6.0/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/LocalFileSystem.java#L164]
 and then does a file move
 * {{HDFSFileSystem}} following BEAM-4861 (fixed and ready to merge) now 
implements {{rename()}} by creating missing parent directories and doing the 
move

The move across different filesystems is not (fully) supported because the 
{{FileSystems.rename}} gets only the [filesystem for the source 
resource|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/release-2.6.0/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/FileSystems.java#L325].
 It is not clear to me what might happen if the source were an 
{{HDFSFilesystem}} which itself can span multiple Filesystems. It is also not 
currently clear to me where we can best do the check - we could simply log a 
warn before the call to rename().

>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: io-java-files
>    Affects Versions: 2.5.0
>            Reporter: Jozef Vilcek
>            Assignee: Tim Robertson
>            Priority: Major
>
> moveToOutput() methods in FileBasedSink.WriteOperation implements move by 
> copy+delete. It would be better to use a rename() which can be much more 
> effective for some filesystems.
> Filesystem must support cross-directory rename. BEAM-4861 is related to this 
> for the case of HDFS filesystem.
> Feature was discussed here:
