[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6240) Rename operation is not consistent between different implementations of FileSystem

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6240?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12752647#action_12752647 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6240:
--------------------------------------

I generally dislike putting version numbers in method names.

A better option might be to define the semantics of HADOOP-6223's AbstractFileSystem#rename() to never return false but instead throw an exception, no?
