Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-730:
-------------------------------------
> Couldn't it try the renameTo() operation and if it
fails then fallback to the slower copy&delete method?
Sounds good to me. That might provide a nice speedup too.
Care to provide a patch?
> Local file system uses copy to implement rename

> Key: HADOOP-730
> URL: http
s://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-730
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Reporter: Owen O'Malley
> Assignee: Owen O'Malley
>
> There is a variable LocalFileSystem.useCopyForRename
that is set to true. When true, the local file system will
implement rename as a copy followed by a delete. This is
likely a performance problem. Is there a reason that
useCopyForRename is set?
