Steve Loughran created HADOOP-13856:
---------------------------------------
Summary: FileSystem.rename(final Path src, final Path dst, final
Rename... options) to become public; specified, tested
Key: HADOOP-13856
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13856
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: fs/s3
Affects Versions: 2.8.0
Reporter: Steve Loughran
A lot of code within Hadoop (e.g. committers, filesystem) and downstream (Hive,
spark), don't know what to do when rename() returns false, as it can be a sign
of nothing important, or something major.
In contrast, {{rename(final Path src, final Path dst, final Rename...
options)}} has stricter semantics and throws up all exceptions to be caught or
relayed by callers. Yet it cannot be used as its scoped at {{protected}} and
tagged as {{@Deprected}}.
If it was made public then it could be used in committers and elsewhere; if we
backport the making of it public, then life will be even better
