Steve Loughran resolved HADOOP-13856.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
I've noticed that HADOOP-11452 duplicates this; moving work there
> 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
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Assignee: 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
