Vinayakumar B commented on HADOOP-14455:
----------------------------------------

Thanks for reporting and posting patch [~brahmareddy]

There were no historic reasons mentioned or found to allow only one of the 
alternative mentioned in comments. In ViewFileSystem#rename(..)

Changing the current behavior straightaway is not correct.
So it would be better to have a configuration, to keep current behavior intact 
and use the configuration to have desired behavior.

There are 3 rename strategies available as of now. 
1. SAME_FILESYSTEM_ACROSS_MOUNTPOINT
2. SAME_TARGET_URI_ACROSS_MOUNTPOINT
3. SAME_MOUNTPOINT

So, a config can be introduced to choose any one among the above, Default 
should be SAME_MOUNTPOINT.
Based on the configuration, validation could vary.

> ViewFileSystem#rename should support be supported within same nameservice 
> with different mountpoints
