Yi Liu created HADOOP-11452: ------------------------------- Summary: Revisit org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem#rename Key: HADOOP-11452 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11452 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Task Components: fs Reporter: Yi Liu Assignee: Yi Liu
Currently in {{FileSystem}}, {{rename}} with _Rename options_ is protected and with _deprecated_ annotation. And the default implementation is not atomic. So this method is not able to be used outside. On the other hand, HDFS has a good and atomic implementation. (Also an interesting thing in {{DFSClient}}, the _deprecated_ annotations for these two methods are opposite). It makes sense to make public for {{rename}} with _Rename options_, since it's atomic for rename+overwrite, also it saves RPC calls if user desires rename+overwrite. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
