rename after copying on HDFS does not succeed


Hi ,

I create a copy of a file in HDFS using

org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileUtil.copy(dfs, file1, dfs, file2, false, false, dfs.getConf());

boolean succ = dfs.rename(new Path(file2), new Path(file3));

The rename always return false, any suggestions? Is that because FileUtil.copy() is not closing the file?

Thanks,

Mingxi
