Jason Lowe commented on HADOOP-10739: ------------------------------------- For example: {noformat} $ hadoop fs -ls foo bar delme -rw------- 3 somebody somegroup 0 2014-05-30 20:27 foo -rw------- 3 somebody somegroup 0 2014-05-30 20:27 bar Found 1 items -rw------- 3 somebody somegroup 0 2014-05-30 20:28 delme/foo $ hadoop fs -mv foo bar mv: `bar': File exists $ hadoop fs -mv foo delme/ mv: `foo': Input/output error {noformat} The error should be consistent. In both cases we should report a file exists error. > Renaming a file into a directory containing the same filename results in a > confusing I/O error > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-10739 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10739 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 2.4.0 > Reporter: Jason Lowe > > Renaming a file to another existing filename says "File > exists" but colliding with a file in a directory results in the cryptic > "Input/output error". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
