-------------------------------------
{quote}Should this be marked as a blocker for 2.8.0 ? PR is still in review.

I don't think this can block 2.8.0 for time constraints. The [PR (now
closed)|https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/6289] caused a lot of discussion
but was not suitable for merging. I suggest we modify {{HDFSFileSystem}} to
always overwrite (i.e. move the necessary bits from the [existing
PR|https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/6289] into the HDFS implementation only)
and then the solution will be simpler and the change can be made to
{{rename()}}.

> 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.
