Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14716:
-
This is actually a fundamental issue with rename() itself, many failures
(source doesn't exist, destination is a file) are required to be caught and
downgraded to a "return false", which hides many problems and means that
application code often goes
{code}
if (!fs.rename(src, dest)) throw new IOException("rename failed")
{code}
# there's a protected rename operation, {{FileSystem.rename(final Path src,
final Path dst, final Rename... options)}} which I've proposed making public
and adopting broadly for renaming, which means "more spec, tests, update uses".
See HADOOP-11452 for details. I've not done anything on that since january
# we ought to split out "exceptions to swallow" from "exceptions to throw up":
authentication, networking, should be thrown. If the Swift client is
catching them too, it shouldn't. Patches welcome
# And yes, logging too
Take a look at
[https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-aws/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/s3a/S3AFileSystem.java#L690]
to see how rename failures are handled there: the {{innerRename()}} method
does throw exceptions, including explicit ones with conditions not being met;
the outer one catches and downgrades exceptions
> SwiftNativeFileSystem should not eat the exception when rename

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tools
>Affects Versions: 2.8.1, 3.0.0-alpha3
>Reporter: Chen He
>Assignee: Chen He
>Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, if "rename" will eat excpetions and return "false" in
> SwiftNativeFileSystem. It is not easy for user to find root cause about why
> rename failed. It has to, at least, write out some logs instead of directly
> eats these exceptions.
