Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9565:
----------------------------------------
One thing to consider is: what are the key bits of code which care that the
destination is an object store.
I think distCp may be one: it's often used as the way to get data in/out a
transient HDFS instance.
HADOOP-11487 shows how eventual consistency can catch it out
> Add a Blobstore interface to add to blobstore FileSystems

> We can make the fact that some {{FileSystem}} implementations are really
> blobstores, with different atomicity and consistency guarantees, by adding a
> {{Blobstore}} interface to add to them.
> This could also be a place to add a {{Copy(Path,Path)}} method, assuming that
> all blobstores implement at server-side copy operation as a substitute for
> rename.
