Chris Nauroth resolved HADOOP-9767.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
I just realized that this is basically a duplicate of HADOOP-9507, so I'll post
patches over there.
> RawLocalFileSystem#rename does not correctly enforce replacement of empty
> destination directory on all platforms
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-9767
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9767
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 1-win, 2.1.0-beta, 1.3.0
> Reporter: Chris Nauroth
> Assignee: Chris Nauroth
>
> POSIX {{rename}} semantics state that renaming a source directory to an
> existing destination directory that is empty will act as a full replacement
> of that existing destination. {{RawLocalFileSystem#rename}} calls Java's
> {{File#renameTo}}, which provides these semantics on most platforms. On some
> platforms (notably Windows), {{File#renameTo}} does not provide this
> behavior. This causes problems for MapReduce and other downstream components
> like Hive, HCatalog, and Sqoop that depend on the replacement behavior.
