ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-6103: --------------------------------------- Github user fpompermaier commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3598 Now it should be ok > LocalFileSystem rename() uses File.renameTo() > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-6103 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6103 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Local Runtime > Reporter: Flavio Pompermaier > Assignee: Flavio Pompermaier > Labels: filesystem > > I've tried to move a directory to another on the LocalFilesystem and it > doesn't work (in my case fs is an instance of java.io.UnixFileSystem). > As for Flink-1840 (there was a PR to fix the issue - > https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/578) the problem is that > {{File.renameTo()}} is not reliable. > Indeed, the Javadoc says: > bq. Renames the file denoted by this abstract pathname. Many aspects of the > behavior of this method are inherently platform-dependent: The rename > operation might not be able to move a file from one filesystem to another, it > might not be atomic, and it might not succeed if a file with the destination > abstract pathname already exists. The return value should always be checked > to make sure that the rename operation was successful. Note that the > java.nio.file.Files class defines the move method to move or rename a file in > a platform independent manner -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
